Categories     Condiment/Spread     Bean     No-Cook     Cocktail Party     Picnic     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Buffet     Spice     Sour Cream     Cilantro     Bon Appétit     Massachusetts

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 15-ounce can red kidney beans, drained
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 small red onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Assorted cut-up vegetables (such as carrots, celery, and bell pepper)
Pita bread triangles, toasted

Steps:

  • Place beans in medium bowl. Mash with fork until almost smooth. Add sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, and cumin; blend well. Mix in onion and cilantro. Season dip with salt and pepper. Transfer to small bowl. Let stand at least 30 minutes to blend flavors. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
  • Place dip in center of platter. Surround with vegetables and pita triangles.

Tips:

  • Use dried red beans for the best flavor and texture. If using canned beans, be sure to rinse and drain them thoroughly before using.
  • Soaking the red beans overnight will help to reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Be sure to cook the red beans until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the red beans until they are smooth and creamy. You can also mash the beans by hand, but this will take longer.
  • Tahini is a key ingredient in this recipe. It adds a rich, nutty flavor and helps to bind the ingredients together. If you don't have tahini, you can substitute almond butter or cashew butter.
  • Lemon juice adds a bright, tangy flavor to this spread. You can adjust the amount of lemon juice to taste. Fresh lemon juice is always the best option.
  • Garlic adds a savory flavor to this spread. You can adjust the amount of garlic to taste. Minced garlic or garlic powder can be used.
  • Serve this spread with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables. It is also a great addition to sandwiches and wraps.

Conclusion:

Red bean tahini spread is a delicious and versatile dip or spread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
