Black Bean Hummus

I have been making this black bean hummus recipe for years, yet each time I want to make it I can't find my recipe!  Luckily, the first time I lost the recipe I googled it and found the same exact one online, and I had to google it again to find it this time too!  So, finally I'm writing it down somewhere and I linked up to the one I found online too.  The only thing that I do different is blend the paprika in the hummus instead of just garnishing with it, and I definitely don't use the olives - one of the only foods I don't like.

This is my favorite hummus recipe!!  If I ever need a last minute appetizer this is one I go to because it uses ingredients I always have on hand.  Even though it's not the prettiest looking dip, it sure is yummy!

Recipe from HERE

 

1 clove of minced garlic

1 (15 ounce) can black beans; drain and reserve liquid

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 1/2 tablespoons tahini

3/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Put all ingredients in a food processor and blend well.  Use reserved bean liquid as needed to thin if it is too thick.  Serve with your choice of pitas, crackers, or vegetables, but my favorite is tortilla chips!
