Black Bean Basil Hummus
- Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
(all the amounts are to taste, so feel free to adjust):1 can of black beans (drained, but still juicy)1 T. garlic (or 2 cloves)2 t. sesame tahini2 T. lemon juice1 T. olive oil5 fresh basil leavescuminkosher saltfreshly ground pepper
Blend in blender until smooth! Be sure to adjust to taste.
Note: the tahini and olive oil are the secret ingredients, but you can probably reduce the amounts if you are concerned about fat content. Also, black beans are supposed to be REALLY healthy for you - one of the "12 best foods."
Serving suggestions: anything, really. Pita bread, tortillas, bagels, vegetables. You can really eat this with just about anything.
Note about tahini: you will probably be most successful at finding it at a health food store (or pseudo healthy store, like Trader Joe's or Whole Foods), or an ethnic food store. It might be in the middle eastern section, or near the other nut spreads (you know, like peanut butter!)
Serving size: approximately 1/4 cup
Number of Servings: 8
