👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Drain the beans and rinse well.
    Colander
  2. 2
    Grind the beans In a blender with the garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt and black pepper.
    ⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorBlender
    💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
  3. 3
    Add the olive oil gradually, while blending In a blender, until a smooth paste.
    ⚙ Fat in a Thin StreamBlender
    💡The thin stream is everything: fat that goes in too fast can't bind, and the sauce breaks. For mayonnaise and hollandaise, if this happens, start with a fresh yolk and slowly add the broken sauce to it; if the sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water.
  4. 4
    If the spread is too thick, add the water and process again.
  5. 5
    Transfer to a bowl, pour a little olive oil over it and sprinkle the cilantro.
