Homus de lentilha

• 3 Tbsp tahini
• 1 handful of chopped parsley
• 3 Tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice)
• 2 garlic cloves (halved)
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin seeds
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Approx. 6 Tbsp water ((depending on desired consistency))

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   First, follow the package instructions to cook the lentils in a medium saucepan until tender. For more flavor, cook them in vegetable stock with 1-2 bay leaves.

2. 2

   Then, drain and transfer the lentils and all the remaining ingredients (except the parsley) to a blender and blend until the dip is smooth and creamy. Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.

3. 3

   Taste the dip and adjust any of the elements to your liking. i.e., more salt or pepper, lemon/lime juice, garlic, cumin, etc.

4. 4

   Finally, transfer the lentil hummus to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley and an optional drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Serve with naan, crackers, or vegetable sticks, and enjoy!
