Ingredients:

• 1 cup white beans, cannellini
• 1 1/2 cups chickpeas
• 1/2 cup walnuts, raw
• 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 6 cloves roasted garlic (roast in the oven with oil until soft)
• 1-2 cloves raw garlic (optional)
• 3 Tbsp walnut oil
• 1 Tbsp flaxseed oil
• 1/3 cup fresh tomatoes, diced
• 1 Tbsp tahini
• 3/4 tsp salt (optional)
• a few dashes fresh pepper
• a few dashes cayenne
• handful of fresh basil for “tomato basil” hummus (optional)

Directions:

1. Drain the excess liquid from the cans of beans. Use an olive oil spray on your garlic and roast it in the oven – about 20 minutes at 400 degrees should do it.
2. Add all ingredients to your blender or food processor.
3. Pulse and blend until creamy – thickness to your preferences.
4. Do a taste test and adjust ingredients as desired.
