How to Make It
1. Step
In a food processor or blender, combine the lemon juice and tahini. Blend together. With the processor running, pour in ½ cup (120 ml) olive oil and blend for another minute, scraping down sides of the processor halfway through.
2. Step
Add the chickpeas, salt, cumin, and cayenne and blend for about 30–60 seconds, then scrape down the sides again. Add the black beans, sesame oil, and garlic and blend again, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time as needed while the processor is running until the hummus is smooth and the chickpeas and black beans are completely broken down. You may have some dark specks from the black bean skins. Season with more salt to taste.
3. Step
Transfer to a bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a well in the center. Pour in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Serve with your favorite whole wheat or gluten-free crackers, pita, or veggies.
