Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tablespoon tahini
• 1 (15 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
• 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained (reserve juice)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake chopped garlic in the preheated oven until softened, 5 to 7 minutes, to reduce bitterness. Transfer baked garlic to a food processor and add basil and lemon juice; pulse several times to mince basil leaves.

Step 3

Place cannellini beans, olive oil, water, tahini, salt, and cumin in the food processor and process until the hummus is smooth. If hummus is too thick, process 1 tablespoon reserved liquid from beans into the mixture. Add artichoke hearts to the hummus and process until smooth.
