Ingredients
- 150g hulled lupin seeds (from 240g drained whole lupins) (U.S. option HERE)
- 20g (1 TBSP) QK tahini
- 50g extra virgin olive oil (U.S. option HERE)
- 50g water
- 40ml lemon juice (1 large lemon)
- ½ garlic clove (minced)
- ⅓ tsp sweet paprika
- ¼ tsp cumin
- 10g (2 tsp) umeboshi paste (optional but highly recommended) (U.S. option HERE)
Instructions
- drain and rinse whole lupins, place them in a saucepan and add enough hot water to submerge them.
- after 3 hours, drain and remove outer waxy skin.
- put hulled lupins back in the pot, add fresh water and boil for 5 minutes; drain and leave to cool.
- place lupins and all ingredients in a food processor, blitz until smooth, adjust seasoning to taste and transfer to a sealable glass container.
- keep refrigerated.
Notes
Macros are based on data reported on the actual Italian lupins packaging (Cà dell'Orto), and reflect the starch loss as a result of double cooling and cooking. Other lupin brands may show different carbohydrate content, which is usually reported for whole lupins rather than just the edible part.
TIP: To soften the lupins further, add 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda, NOT baking powder) to the water you boil the lupins in.
The best way to ensure accurate measurement of ingredients is with Metric Kitchen Scales. They are inexpensive and take up very little space. Click HERE for the ones I use. For U.S. option click HERE.
