Black Bean Hummus


Say hello to my little black bean hummus. HELLO!  

It's really just a black bean dip - I kind of lied on that one...Sorry! 

I made this for a little family get together we had over the weekend.  It was inspired by Cooking Light Magazine March 2011 but since I never have tahini on hand I had to wing it.  It actually worked and was pretty dang good if I do say so myself. 

Black Bean Hummus

1/4 cup chopped cilantro, plus a little more for garnish
2 T water
2 T fresh lime juice
2 T sesame oil
3/4 t ground cumin
1/4 t salt
1 (15 oz) can no-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed 
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 jalapeno, sedded

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.  Garnish with remaining cilantro.

Could it BE any easier?  
I think not!
Enjoy :)

  1. Sesame oil sounds like a good substitute! I always have some in my pantry that I don't use very often!

  3. Hmmm, I just may have to try this. I don't like regular hummus, so this may be just right for me.
