Ingredients

15 oz can of black beans (liquid reserved); see *
1 clove garlic minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or 1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (more for heat)

Directions

In the base of a 7 cup food processor fitted with a steel blade, blend 1/4 cup of liquid from the can of black beans with garlic, olive oil, tahini, lime juice and spices for 1 minute, until smooth and frothy.
Add the black beans and blend for another 1-2 minutes, until creamy and smooth. You may need to scrap down the sides and lid with a spatula.
Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Notes

* 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.
