Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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.
