Green Lentils
- 1 cup Green Lentils
- 3 cups Water
Spread
- 1/4 cup Tahini
- 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3/4 cup Herbs of Choice I recommend a medley of at least 2-3 herbs. Parsley, dill, mint, basil, cilantro, etc
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 - 1 cup Water Start with 1/2 cup and gradually increase if needed to reach desired consistency
First wash your lentils and cook in the water. Once done, set aside and let cool slightly.
In a food processor, add the lentils along with the remaining ingredients. Pulse until smooth and creamy, and scrape down the sides of the food processor as necessary.
Serve on a platter as a dip with your favorite toppings, or use as a spread in a sandwich. The spread lasts about a week in the fridge, if not a few days longer.
