Curry Hummus (DF, GF)

 

Make this the day before you plan on eating it so the flavors have time to "mellow".

Ingredients: 1 can pinto beans (drained and rinsed) 2 to 4 Tbsp water or liquid from beans,  or more until desired consistency (I actually use all the bean liquid) 1 Tbsp minced jar garlic 1 tsp lemon juice  1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp curry powder 1/2 tsp ground turmeric 1/2 tsp ground ginger 3 large medjool dates 1/2 tsp salt (optional) Directions: Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until desired consistency.  Add water or liquid from beans, if needed to thin. My favorite food processor is the KitchenAid  7-Cup Food Processor.  For blenders, I use both the  Vitamix Blender and Ninja Master Prep Professional Blender
