Black Bean Hummus



Hummus is a dip/spread traditionally made with garbanzo beans (chick peas)- but why not try other beans? I love black beans. With a bit of trial and error, I came up with this black bean hummus recipe. Add a splash of Sriracha or other chili sauce if you prefer a spicier version. Serve with veggies, pita chips, or cubes of a nice crusty artisan bread (I used Publix bakery's sourdough jalapeno cheddar artisan boule. It's the perfect bread to go with this hummus).

Black Bean Hummus

1 15 oz can of black beans, drained
5 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp cumin
3 T olive oil
1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves and stems
juice of half a lemon

Put all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Easy!
