Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Black beans, cooked
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Cumin, ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Start by placing the cooked black beans into a food processor. Ensure they are well drained and slightly dried for a creamier texture.
Add tahini and olive oil to the black beans in the food processor.
Next, add the minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, ground cumin, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Begin blending the mixture for about 1 minute to start combining the ingredients.
Stop the processor to scrape down the sides with a spatula, ensuring everything blends evenly.
Add the water to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition, until you reach the desired creamy consistency.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and, if desired, drizzle with a bit of olive oil on top.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if using.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, Paleo-friendly crackers, or as a spread for wraps.
