Spicy Black Bean Hummus

Spicy Black Bean Hummus can be completed in absolute minutes. That gets you out of the kitchen and the party started at just about the same time. I am all about a party. The smallest excuse becomes an event. If a friend comes over to visit – it’s a party. A mere mention of a special day such as ‘grandparents day’ – it’s a party. I seriously can’t look at a calendar. Well, this dip is perfect for such a time. It is creamy as the original hummus we all know and love but you add in the black beans and you get more texture along with all of it’s wonderful health benefits. Serve it with your favorite chips and vegetables. Then you can enjoy it with your family and friends and get lots of complements at the same time.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 3-1/2 to 4 cups dip

Serving Size: 1/4 - 1/2 cup maybe

Ingredients

1 can (15 oz.) Black Beans

1 can (15 oz.) Chickpeas

3 garlic cloves, finely minced

1/4 cup Tahini

4 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

To a food processor - add both beans, chopped garlic, tahini, lemon juice, cumin and salt.

Process until it is smooth. The black beans will have itty bitty little pieces - see the photo. That just makes it better.

You know how 'they' pour a tablespoon or so of olive oil on hummus? Well, if you like you could drizzle a Tablespoon of coconut oil over the top.

Yum!
