White Bean Hummus with Warm Rosemary Garlic Mushrooms

White Bean Hummus with Warm Garlic Rosemary Mushrooms with a plate of crackers

Hummus can be made from pulses other than chickpeas! I’ve used white beans here and paired them with warm garlicky rosemary mushrooms for an added sensory dimension. Serve with whole grain crackers or whole grain pita chips.

Ingredients

Scale

Hummus

  • 3 cups cooked navy beans (if using canned, two 15.5 ounce cans navy beans, rinsed and drained)
  • 1 small garlic clove, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Mushrooms

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces button mushrooms, thinly sliced (dry mushrooms after washing)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

Hummus

  1. Place the beans, garlic and salt in the bowl of a food processor.  Blend until smooth.Scrape down sides of processor bowl with a silicone spatula.
  2. Add the lemon juice and oil and continue to blend until very light and smooth. Scrape down sides of bowl if necessary.

Mushrooms

  1. Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add the oil.
  2. Add the mushrooms and allow to cook, without stirring, for 2 minutes. ( If mushrooms are stirred too early, they won’t brown.)
  3. Stir mushrooms and continue to cook until browned, about 6 minutes.
  4. Add the salt, garlic and rosemary and continue to cook for 1 more minute.
  5. Add lemon juice, stir and remove from heat

To Serve

  1. Put hummus in a serving bowl and pour warm mushrooms over the top.
  2. Serve with crackers, preferably whole grain crackers.
