World's Best Black Bean Hummus

The source for this I believe started as some variation of the hummus from the Eat to Live books, but we modified it enough that it's pretty much its own thing now.

It works just as well if you use garbanzo beans instead of the black beans.

Ingredients

• 1 15oz can black beans, partially drained
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp raw tahini
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce (or liquid aminos)
• 2 Tbsp Penzey’s florida pepper seasoning (this is the secret weapon)
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 cloves garlic
• pinch of cayenne powder, to taste
• pinch of paprika

Directions

Blend all ingredients except the paprika in food processor with 2 tbsp bean liquid. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Add additional seasoning and liquid to taste.

Top with paprika.
