Benjies Black Bean Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Puree two 14-ounce cans black beans (drained and rinsed), 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup each olive oil and lemon juice, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon ground cumin and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a food processor until almost smooth. Let sit 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, jalapeno, and garlic. Cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent garlic from burning. Add cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper and cook 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Transfer onion mixture to a blender. Add black beans, reserved 1/4 cup liquid, lime juice, tomato paste, and vinegar and blend until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• Put the beans into a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. While pulsing, slowly add the vegetable broth until the beans are creamy but still have some small chunks.
• Transfer the bean mixture to a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until the beans are warm, about 3 minutes. Stir in the onion, tomato, jalapeno and cilantro, then remove from the heat; season with salt and pepper.
• Serve warm or at room temperature with tortilla chips for dipping.

Steps:

• Combine beans, water, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and salt in a food processor; process until thick and smooth, adding more water if needed to reach desired thickness.
