Black Bean Hummus

I know I already have hummus on this blog, but the Black Bean Hummus was just too good not to post! Use it as a spread, a dip for veggies, or even just eat it straight off a spoon! I recently started heating hummus before eating it, and I almost like it warm better than cold.

1 1/2 c. black beans
2 T. lemon juice
2 T. minced garlic (yes, it's a lot of garlic, so this is not a date-friendly food)
1 t. cumin
1 to 2 t. Real Salt
2 T. Olive Oil
water

Place all ingredients except water into a food processor. Turn on low and process for about 30 seconds, or until beans are well mashed. Stop food processor and scrape down the sides. Add a few tablespoons of water and continue processing on low or medium speed. Add additional water as necessary to reach desired consistency, stopping periodically to scrape sides. Do not add too much water or the hummus will be too wet and become crumbly.
