wasn't sure where to put Black Bean hummus

  • Okay so I made some tonight... It's AMAZING!!!

    I used dried black beans.. but you can use canned.. (dried, in bulk is cheaper )
    so:
    1cup uncooked dried (becomes 3cups cooked or canned) black beans
    2 TBSP per 1cup of beans
    garlic cloves.. however many to taste
    ground red pepper.. to taste
    salt...to taste..
    a bit of water (or lemon, lime juice).. to thin it out a bit.
    onion powder...to taste
    chili powder...to taste
    1/2 plum tomato chunked up

    throw the cooked beans and everything else, minus the water. Start mixing, add water as necessary to thin it out... I ended up using just under 1/2cup..
    This is REALLY REALLY REALLY YUMMY!!! I'm enjoying it with a bunch of veggies!! Its sooo good!!! and store in the fridge
    It's a great way to get in those veggies with a good lower calorie, high protein and fiber dip
    Will post nutrition facts next!!

  • Okay, I'm going on little sleep here but I have a question? Where did all of the fat come from in the nutritional breakdown?
  • Good question? . . . afraid I don't have an answer based on the recipe given . . . most Hummus recipes have Tahini (sesame seed paste) in them and that would account for a fair bit of fat, and some recipes have a little olive oil as well -- maybe the original poster left out a couple of ingredients? The line that says "2 Tbsp per cup of beans" seems to be missing something?
