Ingredientes

15 oz black beans
2 tbsp bean liquid
1 tsp Domestic Gourmet Organic Adobo
3 tbsp Domestic Gourmet Organic Annatto Oil - Aceite de Achiote
¼ Spanish onion sliced
2 garlic cloves minced
1 lime juiced and zested

Elaboración paso a paso

Make the mojo

In a pan, warm the annatto oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until tender but not translucent. Stir in minced garlic for 15–20 seconds, just until fragrant. Remove from heat, then add the lime juice and zest. Set aside to cool slightly.

Make the hummus

In a food processor, combine the black beans, bean liquid, adobo, and prepared mojo. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed.
Taste and adjust for salt and acidity by adding more adobo or lime juice. The goal is balance—earthy beans, bright lime, and garlicky depth.

Serving Suggestions:

Sprinkle diced raw onions and fresh lime zest on top for added texture and flavor.
Create a well in the hummus and fill it with Domestic Gourmet Organic Annatto Oil for additional depth and a luxurious mouthfeel.
Serve in a large bowl surrounded by green and yellow plantain chips or yuca crisps.
Spread on crostini and top with avocado, pickled red onions, and cilantro.
Use as a flavorful spread in wraps or sandwiches.
Add a scoop over rice or quinoa bowls for plant-based protein and a flavor boost.

Notas

Notes on including your child(ren):

Let your little chef(s) help strain the black beans or smell the fresh lime before juicing. They’ll explore textures, colors, and aromas—building curiosity and vocabulary around food.

Strengthen those fine motor skills and science knowledge by allowing your chef(s) to measure the Domestic Gourmet Organic Adobo and Annatto Oil, squeeze lime juice, or help scoop the hummus into small cups. These tasks strengthen coordination and early math skills while introducing simple science concepts, such as how oil conducts heat or how lime juice adds acidity.

Your older chef(s) can sauté onions under supervision and learn about the Maillard reaction—the science of flavor development. They’ll also practice following multi-step instructions and balancing flavors through tasting and adjusting.
