Broad bean hummus is a tasty and nutritious appetizer that you can prepare as an alternative to classic hummus. The soft texture and unique aroma of broad beans blend perfectly with tahini and lemon juice, creating a delightful harmony. Here is a step-by-step broad bean hummus recipe along with some useful tips.

Ingredients for Broad Bean Hummus Recipe

  • 2 cups broad beans
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 3 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper powder (optional)
  • ½ tea glass of water (if needed)

How to Make Hummus Recipe from Broad Beans

  1. Cook the broad beans: Wash the broad beans thoroughly and boil them in hot water for about 15-20 minutes until they soften. Then, drain and peel their skins.
  2. Prepare the hummus mixture: Place the boiled broad beans into a food processor. Add tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and salt.
  3. Achieve a smooth texture: Add cold-pressed olive oil and blend the mixture in the food processor. If the consistency is too thick, gradually add water to achieve a creamy texture.
  4. Serve: Transfer the prepared hummus to a serving plate. Drizzle some olive oil on top and sprinkle with red pepper powder.

Tips for the Perfect Broad Bean Hummus Recipe

To make your broad bean hummus even more delicious, consider these tips:

  • Peel the broad beans: Removing the skins after boiling helps achieve a smoother and softer hummus.
  • Use tahini in moderation: While tahini adds depth to the hummus, excessive use can result in a bitter taste. Stick to the recommended measurements for a balanced flavor.
  • Choose high-quality olive oil: The olive oil used in the hummus recipe significantly impacts its taste. Opt for cold-pressed, natural, and additive-free olive oil for the best results.
  • Adjust the spices to your taste: Besides cumin and red pepper powder, you can also add sumac, black pepper, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
  • For a lighter hummus: Reduce the olive oil and replace it with yogurt for a lighter variation.
