So I decided to make them into a hummus.
Ingredients:
½ standard tin (or one small tin) of cannellini beans
juice of ½ lemon
1 tbs tahini paste
a good glug of olive oil - about 2 tbs
salt to taste
Whizz all ingredients together with a stick blender or in a small liquidiser goblet until blended into a paste. As I was serving this as a side dish I kept it thick - to serve as a dip I would have gradually blended in a little more olive oil and enough water to get a creamy consistency.
Mine is garnished with a sprinkle of Za'atar but a pinch of paprika and a few sesame seeds would make a great garnish too, or some finely chopped parsley and a slice of lemon.
My other side dishes were tabbouleh and a watermelon and feta salad

I keep meaning to make this recipe and then forgetting to buy the beans! It looks completely delicious and would go really well with some tear and share bread.

Thank you so much for entering this month’s No Waste Food Challenge – your hummus looks delicious, I often have half a tin of beans leftovers so its a great use of them, keep up the great work!
