Sometimes you just need something fast, and resorting  to junk food isn’t an option.  This is my latest emergency healthy food creation-between a dog rescue event that went longer than planned, and my sister’s dance recital I had 20 minutes in which to have dinner.  Oops!  Throw a can of beans and some other things in the food processor.  Cut up some veggies.  Dinner is served!

I love hummus of any type, really, but this is a particularly nice version.  Green and bright and very tasty, I bet this would be a fantastic sandwich spread, as well as a dip.

Maybe I should make some more tomorrow!

Recipe:

1 can cannelini or navy beans, rinsed and drained

2 tbsp tahini

1-2 garlic cloves, peeled

3 green onions,  sliced

juice of 1 lemon

1 C spinach leaves, loosely packed

4 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp salt

fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Put all ingredients in the food processor.  Process until smooth.  Done!

 

Makes about 1.5 C
