- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 c. packed parsley leaves
- 1 c. packed fresh cilantro
- 1 c. fresh fresh dill
- 1 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Roast cumin seeds in a hot dry skillet until fragrant, then crush. (or use good quality cumin powder).
- Put all the above ingredients into a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to boil. Boil gently until beans are soft, about 40 minutes, careful to add more water if dry.
- Let cool slightly, then puree in food processor or good blender until creamy.
- You can top with caramelized onions, and serve warm or chilled with pita.
