Ingredients
- 15 oz canned black beans
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly under cold water to remove excess saltiness from the canning liquid.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the black beans, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Step 3
Blend the mixture until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
Step 4
While the food processor is running, gradually add in the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
Step 5
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.
Step 6
Once the hummus is creamy and smooth, add the fresh cilantro to the food processor and pulse a few times until the cilantro is finely chopped and evenly distributed, but not entirely puréed.
Step 7
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Optionally, drizzle a bit of olive oil on top and garnish with additional chopped cilantro.
Step 8
Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or your favorite cracker.
