2 Bean Trifecta Hummus
Garbanzo and Cannellini bean hummus served 3 ways
Spicy, Olive, Everything
You know that feeling you get, when you go to a middle eastern restaurant and you have an authentic cultural experience that makes you feel like you just dined near the Aegen Sea in a coastal Grecian town Like Mykonos? Well don’t get too excited. This recipe won’t take you there exactly. However, this hummus version is fun, versatile, quick to make and very accessible to the home cook. It is also extra smooth with an almost whipped texture that is light and airy without sacrificing any flavor. I especially like the unique texture created by combining both Garbanzo beans and Cannellini beans - the Fillaup twist. Truth be told, this recipe will create a fun and unique experience for you and your party as you can personalize it and serve it anyway you like. By dividing your 2 bean hummus into 3 or 4 different bowls you can create various flavors of hummus and serve them with veggies, crackers or both. For toppings I used greek olives, chili garlic, and everything spice, but you can also use roasted pine nuts, roasted garlic, roasted red pepper, or any of your favorite hummus flavors.
