Black Bean Hummus Recipe

By Saad Fayed, About.com

Although black beans are not usually included in Middle Eastern cooking, they make such a nice alternative to chickpeas in hummus. Black beans are also very healthy and high in anti-oxidants.

Tahini is included in the recipe and can be store bought or made from scratch.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 can black beans, drained (15 oz)
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Preparation:

In a food processor, process all ingredients until smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, add half a teaspoon olive oil and a half teaspoon lime water. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator in airtight container.

Serve with hot pita bread, pita chips, veggies, or tortilla chips.
