This black bean hummus is the absolute best hummus I have ever had. It goes great with toasted pita bread. If it tastes like it needs a little extra kick, add more lemon juice.

Direction

1. Drain beans and reserve liquid.
2. Place garlic into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until minced. Add black beans, 2 tablespoons bean liquid, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper; process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
3. Taste and add additional bean liquid, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika. Arrange Greek olives over top.
