To quick-soak the beans, cover them with water in a saucepan, and bring them to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let them stand for an hour. Red beans -- a source of cholesterol-lowering fiber -- are pureed, then topped with yogurt and caramelized onions.

Yield makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces dried kidney beans (scant 1 1/2 cups)
2 1/2 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 bay leaf
1 whole cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, halved and very thinly sliced
1/3 cup plain nonfat yogurt, preferably Greek-style
4 cups baked blue corn chips (10 ounces)

Steps:

  • Cover beans with at least 2 inches of water in a large bowl. Cover loosely, and let soak overnight at room temperature.
  • Drain beans; transfer to a medium saucepan. Add stock, herbs, spices, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer beans until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain beans; reserve cooking liquid. Discard bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let liquid cool completely.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 25 minutes.
  • Pulse beans and 1/2 cup cooking liquid in a food processor until smooth. Add more cooking liquid if needed to reach desired consistency. Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with yogurt, then onions. Serve with chips. Dip can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days.

This dip was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using less salt next time.

This dip was a little too runny for my taste. I think I'll try adding more beans next time.

I thought this dip was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This dip was too spicy for me. I think I'll try it again with less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dip turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt.

I've never been a big fan of bean dips, but this one changed my mind. It's so smooth and flavorful, and the hint of cumin gives it a really nice depth of flavor.
