Indian-Spiced Lentil Hummus

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine lentils and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15-17 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. In the bowl of a food processor, add lentils, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add water 1 Tbsp (15 mL) at a time until desired consistency is reached.
3. Transfer hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with oil and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers.
