Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned black beans
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly under cold water to remove excess saltiness from the canning liquid.
In a food processor, combine the black beans, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Blend the mixture until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
While the food processor is running, gradually add in the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.
Once the hummus is creamy and smooth, add the fresh cilantro to the food processor and pulse a few times until the cilantro is finely chopped and evenly distributed, but not entirely puréed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Optionally, drizzle a bit of olive oil on top and garnish with additional chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or your favorite cracker.
