• INGREDIENTS •
1 cup split red lentils, dry
2 cups water
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup tahini
1 garlic clove
1 tsp salt
• METHOD •
Add the lentils to a sieve and rinse well to get rid of any dirt.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot, then add the lentils, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Drain and rinse with cold water. The lentils should be soft and almost paste like. Add to a blender and blend a few seconds until smooth.
Add the lemon juice, tahini, garlic and salt and blend again. Add 2-3 Tbsp of water until you’ve reached the desired consistency (it will firm up more once it gets cold).
Serve with paprika, cumin and a drizzle of olive oil and enjoy!
did you know that if you take red lentils cook them until soft and blend together with garlic lemon juice and Tahini you get the most delicious super silky hummus it’s a great alternative to chickpeas and ready in only 15 minutes you got to try it

That thing has everything but hummus
If you blend them really smooth, they go down the drain without clogging it.
Then go ahead and fry a beautiful steak.
Alternative to chickpeas? Dude.. its just another vegetable. I don't call watermelon an alternative for mango
Is that is that DAAAL HELL NO
lol why does feel like I've seen this video by someone else 😂p
🤩🤩🤩
Her voice sounds even better than the Hummus
Oooooo 😮
As a Palestinian, we don't call hummus anything except chickpeas. This is more like mjaddara
Can replace tahini with something else? Like rice bran oil? I hate the smell of tahini.
Can i make this with meat?
Now the Vegans even substitute their own stuff?
Didn't know that.
But I do know channa dal makes regular tasting smooth hummus in less cooking time & without the tedious mucking about with skins.
THE SMELL OF CHICKPEAS N REDLINTIL IS DIFFERENT.. redlintil's smell is much stronger… use yellow moong instead
PS : Hummus is called hummus because it is made from chickpeas not lentils.
I personally struggle with hummus but love the taste of lentils, so this is great for me ❤
Wait u guys, we need a healthy alternative to chickpeas too??😭 I thought chickpeas WERE the healthy alternative😅
You lost me at red lentils…🤮🤮🤮🤮
Brilliant l'll try it
Oh, this sounds delicious and thank you for having the recipe in the caption🎉🎉🎉🎉
Please Don’t mess up a traditional recipe
How does one make tahini
Why do we want an alternative to chickpeas?
This trend needs to be stopped in its tracks
Why does there need to be an alternative?
Read about red lentils. Not yhe best for health
It's like azifa.
It’s not rude. It’s not unkind. It’s just a statement of fact. IF there is not hummus in the hummus THEN it’s not hummus. It’s a lentil dip. It sounds delicious.❤️
Great recipe to make you fart all day
It's not hummus it's just tahini with lentils flavour
Thank you, because I don’t have the patience to peel chickpeas😅
Any kind of lentils
I want to try this but I’m scared of change
❤🎉yum 🤤
Red lentils is probablly the tastiest legume type
Yummy! I’d subscribe to you!
Im so excited to try this
We made this, it’s so easy to make and tastes absolutely delicious – thanks for the recipe. 🎉
No, I did not know that
I don’t like chickpeas maybe I try that
I will add cumin to it
You should also soak them too, it has many benefits..i mostly cook them without soaking too but i have discovered how important soaking is for all the lentils (just like beans)
Your recipe looks great,will try it soon
