Sweet Bean Spread Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion and 1/2 tsp. salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Stir in fennel and cook 30 seconds. Add beans, remaining 1 tsp. salt, and 2 Tbsp. water and heat through, stirring to combine. Transfer to a food processor or blender and purée until smooth.
• Do Ahead
• Bean spread can be stored in an airtight container and chilled for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• First (bottom) layer: mix together beans, salsa, cumin, and garlic powder, and spread on large, flat serving dish as a thin layer, maybe 1/2 inch thick.
• Second (middle) layer: mix together sour cream and taco seasoning, and spread over bean layer.
• Third (top) layer: sprinkle the cheese on first, then top with chopped tomatoes and green onions.
• Cover with plastic wrap, and chill for about an hour. Serve cold with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Place olive oil, garlic and rosemary in a 10-inch skillet. Heat pan until ingredients start to sizzle. Add beans and their liquid to the pan. As beans cook, mash them with a wooden spoon or potato masher. Cook until mixture is a loose spread consistency (it will thicken as it cools). Transfer to a serving bowl or storage container.

Steps:

• Begin by sauteing on medium heat the onion and garlic in the olive oil until soft.
• Next add the celery and pepper if using and cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic, tomato paste, herbs of your choice. Simmer about 10 minutes. (*Alternately, you can add the beans into the pan with the celery, onion, tomato paste, etc. and simmer. Do not allow the beans to dry out, adding a bit of water or stock if necessary.).
• Place the cooked, warmed beans into a serving bowl.
• Add the sauce along with the vinegar, salt and pepper into the mashed beans and mix well. Bean mixture should be spreadable but not watery.
• Adjust seasoning.

Steps:

• Drizzle olive oil into a sautée pan and turn on medium to high heat.
• Add in your onions and corn, cook until they turn slightly brown.
• Then add in your pinto beans and cook until the mixture begins to stick to the pan. The beans should be almost cooked.
• Finally drizzle in your maple syrup, and add in your spices as directed. Enjoy!
• Serve with tortilla chips or toasted bread.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a food processor.
• Process until well-mixed but not completely pureed.
