Pine Nut Butter Hummus

A buttery, non-bitter twist on hummus made with pine nut butter instead of plain tahini.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups cooked chickpeas
• 1/3 cup Balsam Pine Nut Butter Spread
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove
• Ice water, to thin

METHOD

1. Blend the pine nut butter and lemon juice together first until pale and creamy.
2. Add the garlic and chickpeas, blending until smooth.
3. Stream in ice water until the texture is silky.

Pine nut butter is naturally smooth and non-bitter, so this hummus needs less lemon juice to balance it than a tahini-based version.
