HURRY-UP BLACK BEAN DIP



Hurry-up Black Bean Dip image

If you're looking for a near-instant potluck contribution, you just struck pay dirt. It would be tough to make this recipe any simpler-unless you left out the beans. A little chopping, some liquid measure, and a quick whirrrrrr of your trusty margarita-maker, and you've got a bowl of ready-to-serve puréed goodness.

Provided by Pableaux Johnson

Categories     Food Processor     Mixer     Bean     Super Bowl     Kid-Friendly     Oscars     Cinco de Mayo     Tailgating     Poker/Game Night     Potluck     Small Plates

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium red onion, chopped
2 (16-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh orange or lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Tortilla chips and, if you're with that sort of crowd, assorted cut-up raw vegetables

Steps:

  • 1. Transfer one tablespoon of the red onion to a cup and set aside for the garnish
  • 2. In a blender or food processor, purée the beans, remaining red onion, vinegar, orange juice, cilantro, oil, garlic, and cumin.
  • 3. Transfer the dip to a bowl; add salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the reserved red onion and serve with tortilla chips and vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Use dry beans instead of canned beans for a more flavorful dip. If using canned beans, rinse and drain them thoroughly before using.
  • Soak your beans: Soaking your beans overnight or for at least 8 hours will help to soften them and reduce cooking time. You can also skip this step if you are using canned beans.
  • Cook your beans until tender: Beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked beans will become mushy and ruin the texture of your dip.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your dip the best flavor. If you can't find fresh ingredients, use frozen or dried ingredients instead.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless ways to make bean dip. Get creative and try different combinations of beans, vegetables, herbs, and spices until you find a dip that you love.

Conclusion:

Bean dip is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or main course. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans. With so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a bean dip that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give bean dip a try.
