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.
