Category: Lunch/Snacks, Pizza

 Ingredients List

  • (2) 14.5 oz. can cannellini beans (rinsed & drained)
  • 8 cloves of minced garlic (I use the kind in the jar and it works fine for me)
  • 1/2 c. sesame paste (Tahini brand like this one here is good, it”™s a bit expensive but it keeps forever and you can use it again)
  • 1/4 c. lemon juice
  • 1/4 c. olive oil
  • 1 T. + 1/2 tsp. soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • pinch of ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 6 pita breads
  • Garnish:
  • fresh basil chopped
  • diced fresh tomatoes
  • minced garlic (if you wish)

 Directions

1. Combine the beans and garlic in a blender or food processor until beans are coarsely ground (I have this one here and I love it!). Add the sesame paste and puree the mixture. Slowly add the lemon juice, olive oil and soy sauce. Then add the salt, cumin, coriander and cayenne. Refrigerate until ready to serve (the longer the better to let the flavors blend together.) Bake the pitas at 250° until the are warm. I like my pita pieces a tad crispy, too. Cut into 8 pieces per pita. Yum! Enjoy.
