Method

Hummus Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the butterbeans, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, ground cumin, and water.

  2. 2

    Blend Until Smooth

    Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Topping Preparation

  1. 3

    Fry the Asparagus

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced asparagus and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are crispy and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Goat Cheese

    While the asparagus is cooking, crumble the goat cheese and set it aside for topping the hummus.

Serving the Dish

  1. 5

    Warm the Pita

    Warm the pita bread in a toaster or on a skillet for a few minutes until soft and pliable.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Hummus

    Spread the butterbean hummus onto a serving plate. Top with crumbled goat cheese and the crispy fried asparagus.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the hummus with warm pita bread on the side for dipping.
