Black Bean Hummus (recipe)

[Guest guest]

I made this for a snack tonight. I used peanut butter (the not-so-good-for-you

kind with lots of sugar and hydrogenated oils) instead of tahini, and all I

could taste in the end result was the sweet peanut butter. I will use tahini

next time, or unsweetened natural peanut butter. I added a dash of cayenne

pepper to give the dip a little bit of kick. This was pretty yummy with corn

tortilla chips. I'm going to make veggie wraps with it tomorrow.

 

Black Bean Hummus

 

1 - 2 cloves garlic, to taste

1 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained,rinsed

1/4 cup tahini (or peanut butter)

juice of 1/2 lemon

3/4 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground cumin

black pepper

1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

 

Pulse garlic cloves in a food processor until minced fine. Add black beans and

the rest of the ingredients. Use olive oil to taste, starting with 1 tablespoon

and adding more if needed. Process until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape

down sides of processor bowl, as necessary. Taste and correct seasoning. If the

mixture is too thick, add a little bit of water (1 tablespoon at a time), and

blend until desired consistency is obtained. Transfer to a storage container,

cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.

Thanks for this recipe, I had been wanting to find a black bean hummus because I

dont like garbanzos. And last year when my husband left me, I got a crap load

of that cheapie peanut butter you get from the food pantrys. So I guess I know

a way of using it up now.
