One of the best things about living in Portland is the Saturday Portland Farmers Market. Even non foodies can get their kicks here as it is a weekly event filled with colors, scents, live music and
I decided to make a white bean hazelnut hummus using the oil and adding the nuts for texture and extra flavor. I chose white beans because they seem to have a more delicate flavor and texture than garbanzos and I wanted the hazelnuts to shine. I love this dip and I can't wait to make it again and again.
White Bean Hazelnut Hummus
16 ounces cooked or canned (drained) white (cannellini) beans
1/4 cup finely chopped hazelnuts, and a little more for on top
3 tablespoons hazelnut oil
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 clove garlic, minced
In a food processor blend hazelnuts, 2 tbs oil, vinegar, garlic and salt for about 30 seconds. Blend in the white beans for another 2 minutes or until smooth. Top with remaining hazelnut oil and extra crushed hazelnuts.

You are getting really innovative with hummus, and they all sounds like delicious concoctions. I am curious now about hazelnut oil, I have never used it (or smelt it). It would be a great addition to hazelnut cookies/cakes
This sounds...um, pretty much perfect? I definitely want to give this a try. I adore white bean dips and with hazelnuts, you can never go wrong.
I've never been to the Saturday farmers market, although I've been to the Portland Saturday Market many times for spring rolls - the single greatest hangover destroyer I have ever found in America.
your hummus recipes are always so amazing! i eat more and more hummus because of you :) love the hazelnut addition!

Just when I embark on a hummus making adventure, you spring this hazelnut beauty on me! So yes! I made your carrot hummus from a few weeks ago and I am loving it with pita bread, with crostinis and by the spoonful. I was a bit heavy handed on the cayenne but it's all good.
You had me on the hazelnut Anna!
