Boiled Peanut Hummus
Boiled peanuts are one of the hallmark flavors of the South, but sometimes you want a new way to enjoy them, so try this boiled peanut hummus. It's great for using overly squishy peanuts.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups shelled boiled peanuts
- ⅓ cup tahini
- 3 cloves garlic
- 5 tbsp lemon juice
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- pepper and salt to taste
- extra peanuts to garnish
- butter crackers to serve
Instructions
- Once the peanuts are shelled, add the peanuts, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and pepper to a food processor.
- Blend and immediately begin pouring the olive oil in. It should smooth out once all of the oil is in. Add a little more if needed to smooth the consistency into a thick, smooth paste.
- You can blend a little less for a chunkier consistency if you like. Do not add salt until its blended together and add very sparingly to taste. Add more pepper if desired.
- Serve with butter crackers or crudites.
