White Bean Hummus with Balsamic & Garlic Tomatoes


I'm a sucker for
White Bean vs.
Garbanzo Bean Hummus... 
not exactly sure why
(I like both) but if I am making it at home,
White Bean it is!

White Bean Hummus

2 cans White Beans
5-6 cloves Garlic (3 1/2 tsp minced)
1/2 c Tahini paste
1 T Soy Sauce
1 tsp Salt
1 1/2 tsp Cumin
1/4 c Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp Tobasco Sauce

Add all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. If more liquid is needed use water one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

Balsamic & Garlic Tomatoes

2 T fresh Basil (chopped)
4-5 Roma Tomatoes (small chop - seeds removed - approx 1 1/2 cups)
2 cloves Garlic (1 tsp minced)
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
2 T Olive Oil
2 T Balsamic Vinegar

Add all ingredients into a bowl and stir until throughly mixed. Can be served immediately but the flavors will mature if refrigerated for an hour or so before serving.

Serve with Pita Chips or Pita Bread or Sliced Baguette.
