Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- Pinch of cayenne pepper optional
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Combine black beans, minced garlic, tahini, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and optional cayenne pepper in a food processor.
- Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape the sides as necessary. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If the hummus is overly thick, incorporate a tablespoon of water or olive oil to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Transfer the black bean hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of paprika if desired. Serve with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or whole-grain crackers.
