Black Bean Hummus

We went to a restaurant recently that had black bean hummus and it was really good.... so we found a recipe that was equally good and want to share it with you all in case you might enjoy trying it. It is great with warmed up pita bread. Black Bean Hummus Prep Time: 5 Minutes Ready In: 5 MinutesYields: 8 servings "This hummus comes with raves attached to it. What we like is that everything goes into the food processor and is swooshed into a fabulous consistency. Only the Greek olives and paprika, sprinkled on the top are done by hand." INGREDIENTS: 1 clove garlic 1 (15 ounce) can goya black beans soup; 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon paprika 10 Greek olives DIRECTIONS: 1. Mince garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Add black beans with liquid, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, tahini, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper; process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add additional seasoning and liquid to taste. Garnish with paprika and Greek olives.

First I brush olive oil on the crusts (esp. the edges)

& toast or bake them a few minutes,

so they'll get crispy.

Ingredients Tomato sauce (crushed Italian tomatoes or sliced fresh tomatoes) spinach (lightly steamed is best), mushrooms chopped/sliced (cooked in olive oil & garlic is best), marinated artichoke hearts, slices of mozzarella cheese, then bits of fresh garlic

Italian herbs (Oregano & Marjoram)--- salt to taste.

It is a great tasting pizza.

Let me know what you think.
