Spicy Black Bean Hummus

January 24th, 2009 · No Comments

Keoni and I have been so busy and haven’t gone out much lately.  I did meet some friends at Eclipse di Luna for a birthday celebration.  One of my favorite things there is the black bean hummus and I’ve tried to copy it but mine never tasted as good.   When I got home I had my new Cooking Light magazine and there was this delicious recipe for black bean hummus!  I added a few pine nuts because that’s what they do at Eclipse.

Ingredients

  • 1  garlic clove, peeled
  • 2  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
  • 1  tablespoon  tahini (roasted sesame seed paste)
  • 1  teaspoon  ground cumin
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1  (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1  small jalapeño pepper, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Dash of crushed red pepper
  • 2  teaspoons  extra-virgin olive oil
  • Dash of ground red pepper
  • 1  (6-ounce) bag pita chips (such as Stacy’s Simply Naked)

Preparation

1. Place garlic in a food processor; process until finely chopped. Add lemon juice, tahini, cumin, salt, black beans, jalapeño pepper, and crushed red pepper; process until smooth. Spoon bean mixture into a medium bowl, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with ground red pepper. Serve with pita chips
