I totally started out with really good intentions to make hummus today... and well it just didn't work out. I was just way too feisty! But, hey it worked out and now I have a new recipe.
Also, I'm pretty sure the black bean farmers of the world are soon going start paying me. About 80% of my last few posts have included black beans... and don't you worry, so does this one!
Ingredients:
1 can chick peas
3/4 cup water
1/2 tsp dried crushed thyme
1 clove garlic minced up super tiny
1/2 a medium onion all chopped up
1 tsp olive oil
1 can black beans
Salt to taste
Juice from 1 big lemon
1 tbsp dried cilantro (I ran out of the fresh stuff.. I bet it would have been better if it was fresh)
Directions:
1. Bring the water to boil
2. Throw in the thyme and chick peas and cook on high until the chick peas are super mushy.
3. Blend/food process the chick pea mixture and put on the side.
4. Heat up the olive oil in a pot
5. Throw in the garlic and onions. Brown them up!
6. Put in the black beans and cook for about a minute on medium heat.
7. Next the crushed tomatoes, cumin, cilantro and crushed red pepper. Cook over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes.
8. Mix in the chick pea mixture and cook for another minute or two over medium-high heat.
9. Turn down off the heat and add your salt and lemon juice.
10. Similar to the salsa serve at room temp with something to dip into it!
