Black Bean & Green Bell Pepper Hummus

Hummus can be made using any type of beans. This version using pre-cooked black beans yielded a unique earthy hummus which went well with flatbreads, vegetables and chips. Try it out with kidney beans, cannelini beans or pinto beans. Each will give a different take on the classic chickpea hummus. 

​Ingredients (yields 2 cups)
​1 can of Black Beans (15oz or 400gm)
2 tbsp tahini
3/4 cup EVOO
2 tbsp lemon juice

3-4 tbsps water
​Extra EVOO, a few black beans, a sprig of coriander leaf and a dash cayenne pepper for prettying it up :)
