Add 1-2 Tbsps of olive oil to a medium 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the drained kidney and black beans along with the seasonings: salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and thyme, stirring everything together until combined. Continue to stir until beans are tender and warmed through, about 8-10 minutes.
TO MAKE THE WHITE BEAN HUMMUS:
In a food processor, add the drained beans, chopped garlic, oil, water, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, parsley, oregano, and thyme; processing everything on high-speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add more salt, to taste. NOTE: If it doesn't become smooth enough, add another 2 Tbsps of liquid (water) and process again.
TO MAKE THE DIP:
In a large bowl add the white bean hummus, spreading it out evenly. Top with sauteed beans, roasted tomatoes, roasted bell peppers, and garnish with fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro), if desired.
To serve, enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips, crackers, or pita bread.
Bon Appetit!
Notes
STORAGE: Place any leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
OIL: If you'd like to use an alternative to Extra virgin olive oil, you can also use extra Grapeseed oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil.
HERB ROASTED TOMATOES: To make this, see my recipe here. Also, use this recipe for bell peppers.
ALMOND BUTTER: Almond butter makes for a great tahini sauce substitute, however, you can always keep things traditional with tahini.
MAKE AHEAD: All ingredients can be made and individually stored as meal prep and assembled when ready to serve.
SPICES/HERBS: If desired, you can reduce the amounts slightly. Please know that this recipe is bold in flavor, so feel free to adjust based on your tastebuds.
