No poetry this time. (cue sigh of relief).
However, I will be posting a recipe, which could potentially evoke just as much displeasure.  Let's hope not. :)

(soberirishlass, I hope you don't mind me copying you; it was a great idea.)

1 Can of Black Beans (drained and washed)

hurrah!! i love hummus and i have a love-hate relationship with beans... black beans, however, tend to fall on the 'love' side more often than not. so i will definitely be giving the recipe a try in the near future, and will let you know how it turns out when i am done :) instead of processing, though, i will probably just mash the beans up with a fork or something, and do some chunky dip.

thanks for the recipe! :D

okay i got a can of black beans finally! i once i realized how hard it was to crush beans with a fork (way too much time, and too slippery :P) i opted for a blender and still left the consistency a bit chunky. still good though. i caught myself licking the spoon as if it were cake batter or something. oh, and i skipped on the olive oil because there were so many juices in the can already that i wanted to keep, and i always try cutting calories if possible. i didn't have tahini, or cayenne soooo...! i tried a little bit of nutmeg in place of the tahini and some ground red pepper for the cayenne (i don't like my stuff extremely spicy...) and just for some kick threw in a dash or three of lime juice. the salt is a must and i probably put in too much lime but i will leave that out next time. on the whole it's good!

thanks for sharing :D

That sounds amazingly delicious! I love hummus with a consuming passion, rivaled only by my adoration for baba ganouj and tabouli. And chocolate, but that's kind of comparing apples and oranges.

Heeey, it's me again! I got a food processor last night and wanted to try this recipe again. I also happen to have more of the ingredients on hand so I didn't have to fudge so many like last time. This is really delicious this go around. I think the tahini is the main thing- only I didn't have processed tahini, so I chopped some sesame seeds as finely as I could and it gives it a really nice smokey (sp?) flavor. That and I added a little bit of paprika and chili powder to mine instead of cumin- why do I never have cumin? Mustard was a good call though.

Cook more! >D
