Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly under cold running water.
Peel the garlic cloves and chop them roughly.
In a food processor, combine the black beans, chopped garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Add ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Process the mixture on high speed for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides halfway through to ensure everything blends evenly.
With the processor running, gradually add cold water, tablespoon by tablespoon, until you achieve your desired consistency for the hummus.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin if required.
Once the hummus is smooth and creamy, transfer it to a serving bowl.
Chop fresh cilantro finely and sprinkle over the hummus as a garnish.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetable sticks, pita chips, or as a spread on sandwiches.
