White beans not only add body to this thick, garlicky puree, they also slash fat grams by allowing us to cut back on tahini (sesame paste).
 

Ingredients

6 medium pitta bread, cut into 6 wedges each   
1 spray low-fat cooking spray, low fat   
2 teaspoon ground cumin   
1/2 teaspoon salt   
400 g cooked chick peas, canned, rinsed and drained   
400 g cooked butter beans, canned, rinsed and drained (or flageolet beans)   
3 tablespoon tahini, sesame paste   
6 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh   
2 clove garlic, crushed   
1 teaspoon tabasco pepper sauce   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6/400ºF/200ºC. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

  • Place pitta wedges on baking sheet and lightly coat with cooking spray; sprinkle with cumin and salt. Bake until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, to make houmous, combine remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. If you don't have a food processor, use a blender or mash the ingredients together with a fork.

  • Serve houmous with pitta wedges on the side.
