1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
10 Greek olives

1. Mince garlic into a bowl or blender. Add black beans, 2 tablespoons reserved liquid, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, tahini, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper; process in blender or mash until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add additional seasoning and liquid to taste. Garnish with paprika and Greek olives.

I found it on the internet a few years ago.. and I thought it was so much better than the boring old chickpea hummus... it's a bit a funny colour but, delish.LOL
