Julia Child's White Bean Hummus
  1. Empty the can of white beans into a colander placed in the sink, rinse well with cold water and let drain at least 5 minutes.

  2. While beans are draining, wash basil leaves, spin dry in salad spinner or dry with paper towels, then put basil in the food processor and pulse until roughly chopped.

  3. Add beans, fresh lemon juice, Tahini Sauce (affiliate link), and minced garlic and process until beans are well pureed, about 1 minute.

  4. When mixture is blended, add olive oil through the feed tube, 1 T at a time.

  5. Taste mixture to see if you want more lemon juice, then season with salt and fresh ground black pepper and pulse a few times to mix in.

  6. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve with pita bread, veggies, or crackers.
