White Bean Hummus
'Nduja Topping
Toasted Pine Nuts & Finish
Method
White Bean Hummus
- 1
Prep beans and garlic
Drain and rinse the cannellini beans thoroughly. Peel the garlic and remove the core if using an especially large clove to reduce harshness.
- 2
Blend hummus
In a food processor, combine the drained beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic clove, 3 tablespoons olive oil, cold water, salt, and black pepper. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides once or twice. If the mixture seems too thick or grainy, add additional cold water 1 teaspoon at a time until you reach a silky, spreadable consistency (about 1–3 more tablespoons).

Adjust seasoning
Taste and adjust: add more salt, lemon, or olive oil as needed. Transfer the hummus to a shallow serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center for the 'nduja and oil.
'Nduja Topping
- 4
Warm 'nduja
Place a small skillet over low-medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the 'nduja. Cook gently, breaking it up with a spoon, until it softens and releases oil and aromatic fat (about 3–5 minutes). If you like extra heat, stir in the red pepper flakes for the last minute.

Finish and garnish
Scatter the toasted pine nuts over the hummus and 'nduja. Sprinkle the chopped parsley, lemon zest, and flaky salt over the top. If desired, dust with a pinch of smoked paprika for color. Drizzle a little additional olive oil over everything.
