Several weeks ago Tessa came home from the local Hillsboro Farmer’s Market where she had been working, raving about a black bean hummus she had tasted from one of the vendors at the market. Our neighborhood Fourth of July BBQ was the perfect time to try it out. It was a hit.
The flavor combination is great -black beans, garlic, roasted red peppers, tahini and features Charles’ Garlic and Herb Spice Blend. Hummus is usually made with garbanzo beans but the black beans are a fun and flavorful change.
Everything is blended in the food processor so it is quick and easy to put together.
I served it with some pita chips I made out of flat bread. You can find my pita chip recipe here. It’s great with regular tortilla chips too. It would also make a great dip for fresh veggies. I think just about anything would taste could dipped in black bean hummus.
