white bean hummus

my mom "hydrated" white beans the other day. she basically cooked the dried ones, but she overcooked them.......and now we have a whole container full of white bean mush. she didn't want it to go bad, so she decided to look up quite a few white bean dips and recipes, and the one she actually tried was a white bean hummus from food network. it was actually really good, and she's made it more than once in the past week. i hope you can enjoy it too!

 

//that is the white bean mush



//we used red onion, about 1-2 tbsp

//this is the type of tahini we used, and it worked great!//you can find it at walmart

//you DO NOT want to use the tahini when it looks like this, mix it up until it turns into a real paste

//that nasty brown gooey stuff?//that's what the tahini looks like after you mix it all up

//you want it to have a smooth consistency, with some chunks, but somewhat smooth
