Ingredients
Green Lentils
- 1 cup Green Lentils
- 3 cups Water
Spread
- ¼ cup Tahini
- ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ¾ cup Herbs of Choice, I recommend a medley of at least 2-3 herbs. Parsley, dill, mint, basil, cilantro, etc
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- ¼ tsp Paprika
- 2 cloves Garlic
- ½ tsp Sea Salt
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- ½ - 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.
