Black Bean Hummus

What could be better than black beans and garbanzo beans in the same dish?  This has a nice subtle flavor, a perfect dip for fresh veggies.

Ingredients:

1 15-oz can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 15-oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon crushed garlic (can run cloves in food processor or blender before throwing the beans in!)
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, to taste


Preparation:

Puree beans, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice in food processor or blender until smooth.  Add a little water if it seems too thick or grainy and continue processing.  Add spices and continue blending, adding additional spices to suit your taste.
