Ingredients
  • 1 cup split red lentils
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon harissa
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • juice of half a lime
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil, parsley, sesame seeds, and cumin for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Rinse lentils in cold water. Combine lentils with 3 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer and cook covered for 12-15 minutes. Lentils will be very soft and falling apart. Drain lentils and rinse in cold water. Using a wooden spoon, gently press the lentils to remove any excess water. Allow to cool completely.
  2. Combine lentils and remaining ingredients except for olive oil in a food processor. With food processor running, pour in olive oil and continue to blend until hummus is creamy. Season with freshly cracked sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. Serve drizzled with olive oil and a sprinkle of parsley, sesame seeds, and cumin.
