Compost Crudites With Ranch Dirt Dip Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium heat, roast the garlic, turning frequently, until light brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, cool, and then slip off the skins. Set aside.
• Bring about 8 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan and drop in the beans. Bring back to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking water before draining. Drain the beans and cool.
• Transfer the garlic into a food processor and chop coarsely. Add the beans, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, pepper and process in the food processor. Add the olive oil, lime juice and cilantro and pulse to combine. Add the reserved water a little at a time while processing until smooth (you may not need to add all of the water). Use pita chips for dipping.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the red onions, jalapenos and salt and cook until the onions are soft and translucent, 5 minutes.
• Add the artichokes and cook until starting to fall apart, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the cream cheese, stirring until melted.
• Add the sour cream and Jack cheese and mix until well combined.
• Transfer the dip to a warmer or slow cooker to hold for serving.

Steps:

• Combine the first 9 ingredients; mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. If desired, sprinkle with additional parsley. Serve with vegetables.
