Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed for consistency
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Drain and rinse the can of black beans under cold running water to remove excess sodium and any canning liquid. Set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the rinsed black beans, tahini, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, and the juice of one lime.
- Secure the lid on the food processor and pulse the mixture until it starts to combine. You may need to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is blended evenly.
- Add salt to taste, starting with a small pinch, and pulse again to incorporate. Remember that you can always add more salt later if needed.
- If the hummus is too thick, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, while blending until you reach your desired consistency. The hummus should be smooth and creamy.
- Once blended to your satisfaction, taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning by adding more lime juice, salt, or cumin as needed.
- Transfer the black bean hummus to a serving bowl. You can drizzle a little extra olive oil on top for garnish and sprinkle with additional cumin or chopped fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve the hummus with tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy your flavorful and healthy Sunday Supper Black Bean Hummus!
Tips
- Rinse your black beans thoroughly to reduce sodium and remove any metallic canning taste.
- Use fresh lime juice for the brightest, most vibrant flavor – bottled juice just can't compare!
- Start with less water and add gradually to control the consistency – you want creamy, not runny.
- Taste as you go and don't be afraid to adjust seasonings. The perfect hummus is all about personal preference.
- For an extra flavor boost, try toasting your cumin in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to intensify its nutty notes.
- If you want a smoother texture, blend longer and scrape down the sides of the food processor multiple times.
- Garnish with a drizzle of good quality olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika or fresh herbs for a restaurant-worthy presentation.
