Bean-Free Sun-Dried Tomato “Hummus”

A hummus with no beans I hear you cry. Am I mad? Probably – but I’m not mad for making this no-bean hummus. If you try it, I promise I won’t call you mad – just let me know how much you enjoyed it. 

It’s smooth, slightly sweet and garlicky, yet being light and fresh at the same time. I had to stop myself eating the whole batch with carrot sticks when I whipped up this batch! Hmm… I wonder what’s going to feature in J’s packed lunch tomorrow…

   
BEAN-FREE SUN-DRIED TOMATO “HUMMUS”

Makes 250 g (almost 1 c)

Inspired by Happy Foody – Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus

 

Ingredients

  • 113 g (¼ lb), or one medium-sized courgette (zucchini), topped and tailed
  • 40 g (⅓ c packed) dry sun-dried tomatoes, rehydrated
  • 60 g (¼ c) tahini
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 T fresh parsley (can be substituted for dry parsley)
  • 1 small clove of garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 1-2 T smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Small pinch of chili flakes (optional)

 

Method

1. Pop the courgette (zucchini), tomatoes, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, garlic, paprika into a food processor. Blitz until relatively smooth and well combined, scraping down the bowl when necessary.

2. Season to taste with salt, pepper and chili flakes, blitz again until well combined. Allow to sit for a few hours in the refrigerator to develop the flavors. Serve with pita bread, vegetable sticks, crackers or anything you fancy. Enjoy!

  1. Oh my gosh, your right this does look totally delish! I definitely have to try this, first I have to go buy some zucchini, though. The recipe reminds me of babaganoush. Have you tried it before? It’s like this recipe, only made with eggplant. I’ve never made babaganoush, but I’ve tried store-bought kind, and it was yummy.
