How to make lentil hummus?
First, rinse the lentils in a sieve under running water. Then place them in a small pot and bring to a boil. Cook until the lentils are completely soft and starting to break apart. Drain and cool the cooked lentils under cold running water. Next, transfer the lentils to a blender along with a garlic clove, tahini, sea salt, and lemon juice, and blend until smooth and creamy.
