Bean hummus: the perfect snack to eat more legumes in spring

Present in all types of celebrations and meetings due to its easy preparation and garlic price, hummus, which lends itself to all types of versions although the most famous is chickpea, is one of the most famous healthy dishes of the moment.

For this reason, and given that with the high temperatures we all feel like a light snack, Roberto Bosquet, known as Chef Bosquet, proposes a delicious hummus recipethis time with beans.

Beans are a food loaded with nutrients. For example, they provide 22 grams of protein per 100 grams and are rich in vitamin A, with 1.0833 ug per 100 grams. It also stands out with 1.7 mg of vitamin C, 138.6 mg of calcium and 1718 mg of potassium.

In addition to all these nutrients, beans are a food with low fat content and high content of plant-based protein. Its fiber content is also very important. The consumption of beans promotes intestinal transit and helps combat constipation.

This is the step by step of the bean hummuswhich you can accompany with strips of vegetables such as zucchini, eggplant and carrot.

We add already cooked beans to the chopper, a tablespoon of tahini, a splash of lemon juice, salt, a good splash of extra virgin olive oil, and black pepper. Closes

We close and grind until we have the smoothest texture possible.

When we have it, we check that it is the texture we want (otherwise we would grind it more) and we transfer it to the container where we are going to serve it.

We shape it a little with a spoon and decorate with sesame, pepper, paprika, oil and salt. And ready to enjoy!

This recipe can also be a good idea to cook with children, since they will enjoy the preparation and also eat healthy. That’s what his wife, Laura Álvarez (on Instagram @lapediatralaura), proposes in her book ‘Ready, set… Yum!’ in which, in addition to giving healthy advice for children’s meals, it provides fun and delicious recipes designed by Chef Bosquet.
