I doubled the recipe and substituted lime juice for lemon juice and olive oil for the bean liquid due to personal taste and what I had on hand. It turned out great, with a smooth texture that wasn't runny. It was good with tostadas. Next time, I will add more garlic, but this one is definitely a keeper. Thanks for the great recipe!

I needed some party food in a hurry and had all the ingredients on hand. Easy, great flavor. I will try it out on kids with taco/tortilla chips the next time. Might also be good to substitute lime juice with the lemon juice.

This stuff is amazing! We fight over it. Even my 7yo can't get enough. We substituted chick peas to make original hummus but the black beans are the best.

Absolutely great! Goes well on whole wheat crackers, and is really good mixed with ricotta cheese - maybe even on tortillas! TMy roommates all loved this recipe. I loved it because it is simple enough to be made without a food processor if you heat the beans and mash everything with a potatoe masher or pastry blender!

Good, not great. Great texture for spreading. Too much garlic, though.

Couldn't find tahini so I substituted peanut butter & sesame oil like another reviewer suggested. This was NOT a good idea. I don't know if I used too much or what but the peanut butter gave it a really weird flavor. It wasn't a hit at the party I took it to. I might try again if I can ever find tahini.

I'm a big hummus fan, and this one is very good. A nice change. It was a favorite at my Christmas party, glad I doubled the recipe.

I use this recipe often for parties and get-togethers and it is always a hit! I often add 1/2 to double the amount of beans to give it more texture and flavor. Yummy!

I think the basic recipe is very nice. My only suggestions would be add a few more cloves of garlic and 1-1/2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Made this recipe using 3 large cloves of ROASTED garlic, 1/2 tsp cayenne and calamata olives mixed right in. I also added a half of a roasted red bell pepper. It was delicious and had a little more kick to it. No need to do anything by hand except remove the pits from the olives. Very yummy and satisfying with pita chips.

This was good. The color is not too appealing but the taste was good. I like it better than the regular hummus with garbonzo beans.
