Black Bean Hummus

This awesome twist on hummus is great with fresh vegetables, wheat crackers and baked tortilla or pita chips. I don't actually measure the spices, but these amounts should be close. You can adjust the spices to suit your taste. This recipe is a big hit when I take it to gatherings.

1 can (15 oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz.) garbanzo beans, mostly drained

1 tbsp. lemon juice

2 tsp. sesame oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1. In a blender or food processor, blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. Yield: about 3 cups.
