Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) canned black soybeans
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon extra olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black soybeans thoroughly under cold water.
In a food processor, combine the black soybeans, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture several times to start breaking it down.
Add 2 tablespoons of cold water to the mixture and blend until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, cumin, or lemon juice according to your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of extra olive oil if desired.
Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
