  • 3 T. tahini
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper or more to taste
  • 4 T lemon juice
  • 2 T olive oil
  • water as needed

Method
 

  1. Pulse the garlic in a food processor to mince.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients, including 4T of the reserved bean liquid, to the food processor and blend until smooth.

  4. Chill until serving.

Notes

This batch makes enough for a party of 6-8. Freeze half if making for a smaller crowd. Try substituting shelled edamame for the black beans for a twist. Serve with baby carrots and chips.
