Black Bean Poblano Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Put the poblanos on a baking sheet and broil, turning halfway through, until charred all over, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove the stems and seeds and peel off the charred skin. (It's OK if some skin remains.)
• Transfer the poblanos to a blender and add 1/2 cup water, the black beans, cilantro, scallions, lime juice, 2 teaspoons salt and the cumin. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and serve with tortilla chips.

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 medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and the chile; cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; add beans, lime juice, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Toss well to combine. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature, with lime wedges on the side.
