Although black beans are not usually included in Middle Eastern cooking, they make such a nice alternative to chickpeas in hummus. Black beans are also very healthy and high in anti-oxidants.
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 can black beans, drained (15 oz)
* 1/4 cup tahini
* 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1/4 tablespoon lime juice

Hummus 101
Hummus is a dip/spread that is made from chickpeas. In fact, hummus is the Arabic word for chickpea. You may notice that many hummus recipes call for garbanzo beans, not chickpeas. Don’t worry, garbanzo is the Spanish translation of chickpea. They are called cece beans in Italy.
Hummus is one of the oldest foods dating back to ancient Egypt. We know that chickpeas were used quite frequently over 7,000 years ago.
Hummus is also popular in Greek culture. It is commonly called hommos.
