Before You Know It Bean Dip
Not all bean dip comes out of that creepy little can. You
can make hearty, delicious, all-natural bean dip in seconds.
Ingredients
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained
1/4 of a medium-sized onion (about 1/4 cup)
1-2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup roasted red peppers
1/4 cup (fat-free) chicken or vegetable broth
2 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
dollop of sour cream (optional)
cayenne pepper to taste (optional)
Preparation
First ...
Drain most of the liquid out of the canned beans.
Then ... Load all the ingredients,
in the order they are listed, into the Tall
Cup.
And ... Twist on the Cross
Blade and quickly Pulse
until you reach the desired consistency.
Serving Suggestion
This dip is great both warm and cold.
If you go for the warm version, try adding 1/4 cup of cheddar
cheese to the ingredients before you blend it. (If you don't
have room, partially mix the ingredients, then add the cheese.)
Take the blade off, place the Shaker/Steamer
Top on the cup and microwave for about 2-3 minutes (until
warm throughout). Give the dip another quick Pulse
or two, then serve immediately. The warm version goes perfectly
with nachos or sliced crusty Italian bread.
Tip!
Use your
favorite type of bean. Black beans can be substituted
with pinto beans, white beans, whatever you're into.
Black bean sauce. Add a cup of
broth to make a perfect sauce for pouring over chicken or fish.
Black bean soup. Add 2 cups of
broth to make a zesty, flavorful soup -- a great way to use
any leftover dip. Throw in a few shrimp for a real treat.
