There are no shortage of 'hummus' recipes around here! With 7 hummus flavors you can choose from including classic homemade hummus all the way to the far from authentic yet still delicious creamy avocado hummus.

Just like its classic counterpart, this black bean hummus blends olive oil, garlic, tahini and salt, but that's where things diverge a bit. Instead of chickpeas, we use black beans, and we swap the classic lemon for a lime and some southwestern spices.

1. Blend liquids- in a 7 cup food processor fitted with a steel S blade, combine 2 tablespoons of reserved liquid from the can of black beans (or cooking liquid), garlic, olive oil, tahini, lime juice, cumin, ground coriander, salt and cayenne.

Minute Black Bean Hummus

I know some people have successfully used blenders to make hummus, however I have not tried. I suspect you'd need a high powered brand like Vitamix, and would need to use the tamper to make sure all ingredients are properly blended.

1- home cooked black beans can also be used; I measured out 15 oz on a kitchen scale which included a small amount of the cooking liquid. If you use home cooked black beans you do not need to puree the liquid with the other ingredients first; just place all ingredients in the processor and blend together.

Though I love a more traditional garlic chickpea hummus, sometimes it is fun to have mix up the flavors and go in another direction. I have shared tons of creative hummus variations over the years, from Roasted Red Pepper Hummus and bright green Edamame Hummus to Cauliflower Hummus made without any legumes at all!

Like traditional chickpea hummus, this black bean recipe uses sesame tahini, olive oil and garlic.But that’s where the similarities kind of stop between this black bean hummus and regular hummus. Instead of chickpeas, this hummus is made with black beans, obviously.I also added ground coriander seed, fresh cilantro and lime juice (instead of lemon.)

Of course if you are a fan of cooking dried beans from scratch you can boil the beans on the stovetop or instant pot. For this recipe you’ll need 1 2/3 cup cooked beans.

Tahini is a creamy paste made from roasted sesame seeds. It is the texture of thin or natural peanut butter and must be stirred before using. Keep it refrigerated once opened.

No hummus would be complete without a generous hand of olive oil. It thins the texture, adds richness and fruity olive oil flavor.

To finish it off, I drizzle oil over the top, too. If you can find it, jalapeño-infused olive oil is really awesome on this. Or just use the best quality olive oil you can find works as well.

You’ll need one clove of raw garlic for this recipe. The flavors of raw garlic carry through the hummus (much more than roasted or cooked garlic.) So one clove is plenty. Note: you’ll just need to smash and peel the clove. No need to chop it by hand. I have a sneaky trick to save time.

You’ll need both ground coriander seed to mix into the black bean hummus and fresh cilantro leaves for the garnish. If you do not like cilantro you can skip it altogether.

Fit your food processor with the s-shaped steel blade attachment. Go ahead and close lid and turn it on. Drop the peeled garlic glove through the feed tube of the food processor and allow it to process until the garlic is finely chopped. This helps save a step of chopping the garlic.

Next, open the food processor lid and add in the drained rinsed black beans, olive oil, lime juice, tahini, ground coriander and salt.

Pop the lid back on and process the mixture until it is nice and smooth. I like to scrape the sides of the processor bowl once or twice so that it is completely creamy. Then add the cilantro and quickly process to combine.

Scrape the black bean hummus into a serving bowl and smooth the top. Serve drizzled with additional oil if desired. I also save a little of
