Cooking Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients. Start by peeling the garlic cloves. This will help to infuse the hummus with a robust flavor.
  2. Step 2: Combine in the Food Processor. In your food processor, combine the peeled garlic, drained and rinsed black beans, olive oil, lime juice, tahini, cilantro, ground coriander, cumin, paprika, and coarse salt.
  3. Step 3: Blend Until Smooth. Pulse the mixture until it forms a smooth and creamy consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the processor a few times to ensure everything is well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more olive oil or a splash of water to achieve your desired consistency.
  4. Step 4: Taste and Adjust. Taste your hummus. If necessary, adjust the seasoning by adding more lime juice, salt, or spices according to your preference.
  5. Step 5: Serve and Enjoy. Transfer the Black Bean Hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle some olive oil on top and sprinkle with extra paprika or chopped cilantro for garnish. Serve with your favorite dippers and enjoy!
