Black Bean Hummus
Makes about 1 3/4 cups
1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed, drained**
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
2 tablespoons cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons (packed) chopped fresh cilantro
3 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper, to taste
Add all of the ingredients to a food processor fitted with “S-blade.” Process until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
**The fun thing about this recipe is that you can make plain hummus by substituting garbanzo beans for the black beans and lemon juice for the lime juice (and even parsley for the cilantro). You can also try pinto beans instead of black beans.
