Instead of chickpeas, you can use black beans to make this Middle Eastern dip. And for a bit of extra flavor, stir in jalapeño pepper and lime juice.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
  • 2 tablespoons tahini (roasted sesame seed paste)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled
  • 1/2 small jalapeño pepper, seeded
  • 3 (6-inch) pitas

Great recipe. I added some Tapatio on the side when served with baked tortilla chips.

This was also my first hummus and I found it easy to make and very flavourful. I did not make the pita chips, I add it with veggies. I will make this again and it has made me want to try and find other hummus recipes as well.

This was delicious. I like it even better than hummus made from chickpeas.

I added extra lime and salt. Love the flavors but wish I could get around the grayish color.

This is so tasty! I used a heaping tsp of cumin rather than 3/4 tsp since I really like the taste, and upped the cilantro as well. I didn't have a jalapeno so I left it out, but it turned out great. The color was a little more gray than the picture showed, but the taste more than makes up for it. I will certainly make it again.
