Homemade Black Bean Hummus

Ingredients:

• 1 15 oz. can black beans, liquid reserved
• 1 large garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon tahini
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, depending on how hot you want it
• 1-2 tablespoons of the reserved bean liquid
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (or parsley)

Directions:

1. Pulse the garlic first in a food processor until minced.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients up to the cilantro. Pulse it in last.
3. Use enough lemon to suit your taste and bean liquid to make it as thin or thick as you like. We used about 2 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice and about 2 tablespoons of bean liquid.
