Ingredients You Need for Lemon Beet Hummus With Poached Pistachios [Vegan, Grain-Free]

  • 3/4 cup of shelled, no salt pistachios
  • 8 ounces cooked peeled beets, chopped
  • 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added cannellini beans, drained
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon (3 tablespoons juice)
  • 2 large garlic cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons roasted pistachio oil or extra-virgin olive oil

How to Prepare Lemon Beet Hummus With Poached Pistachios [Vegan, Grain-Free]

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of the pistachios and 3 cups cold water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer covered until the pistachios are softened (poached), about 20 minutes. Drain.
