    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 1.5 cups (400g) cooked black beans (or one 15 oz can, drained and rinsed)
    • ¼ cup (60 ml) water
    • ¼ cup (60 ml) Tahini
    • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
    • Juice from ½ medium-sized standard lemon, or 1 Meyer lemon (my favorite!)
    • 2 large cloves crushed garlic

      Lemon and garlic are so good together! Thank you for making a recipe with black beans. I don't like chickpeas.
