Instructions
Hummus
- Combine basic cooked Pinto beans, scallion and roasted garlic in bowl of food processor. Process until coarsely pureed.

- Reduce heat and simmer 30 to 40 minutes until beans are tender. Do not overcook!
- Remove from heat and add cumin and salt to the stock. Stir well. Let beans stand in cooking water 15 minutes to absorb salt. Drain well.
