Lentil Lovers Hummus
I love lentils and I love Hummus, so why not put the two together! I had so much fun making this and my family ate all of it in one night. I was kind of envisioning an Indian vibe on the traditional Greek hummus. I didn't have tahini, so I substituted with a paste of cashews and sesame seed oil. The goat cheese really makes this creamy and nice on the pallet. I have decided to go on a hummus experience and I will be testing different nuts and flavors with legumes/beans. I topped mine off with diced kalamata olives and olive oil but feel free to use whatever you like. I hope you try it and if you do please share your thoughts with me. Let me know if you used a different type of nut with this recipe and how it came out! Thanks for stopping by!

This hummus is very easy to make and uses basic kitchen ingredients. We've tried it with black beans too when out if chickpeas and it with amazing (even though the colour was strange!). It’s very thick and creamy. Ours is very thick but if you want is thinner, splash in a little cold water to your food processor.
