Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned black soybeans thoroughly under cold water.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the black soybeans, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pulse the mixture several times to start breaking it down.

Step 6

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of extra olive oil if desired.
