Ingredients

Black Bean Hummus Ingredients

  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • Juice of 1 lime (use ½ a lime if it is large)
  • 3 cloves roasted garlic
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ large bunch cilantro
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Rinse and pat dry the cilantro thoroughly, including the stems, which add extra flavor. Drain and rinse the black beans to remove excess salt and improve texture.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place the black beans, tahini, lime juice, roasted garlic, cumin, chili powder, olive oil, and cilantro into the bowl of your food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Secure the lid properly.
  3. Process the Mixture: Turn on the food processor and blend the ingredients until you achieve your desired creamy texture. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even blending.
  4. Final Blend: Pulse the mixture a few more times after scraping down the sides to incorporate all ingredients evenly and achieve a smooth consistency.
  5. Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper according to your preference, and blend briefly once more to combine. Your black bean hummus is now ready to serve.

Notes

  • Roasted garlic can be prepared by roasting whole garlic cloves in foil at 400°F for about 20 minutes until soft.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor; bottled lime juice can alter the taste.
  • The texture can be adjusted by adding a little water or more olive oil if too thick.
  • Serve with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or as a spread on sandwiches.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
