(about 2.5 hours) (The veg. broth seemed to add a lot of flavor so I wouldn't just use water.) Drain beans, reserving liquid. (I actually used the leftover broth again in the rice & beans recipe that night). Puree beans in food processor with 1/4 c. lemon juice (I used a little less lemon juice because that's all I had, and it tasted lemony enough for me) & enough of the cooking liquid to achieve desired texture (I added about 1/2 c). Add grated zest of 1 lemon, 6 roasted cloves of garlic, 1 fresh minced garlic clove, *** 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp ground coriander, 1/8 tsp cayenne, 1/2 tsp black pepper.*** At very end, mix in *** 1/2 c. *** of minced parsely.
