I recently found a recipe for black bean dip that sounded easy and tasty. You just put the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Serve with fresh veggies or tortilla chips.
1 can black beans, rinsed
1/2 c. prepared salsa, hot or mild
2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp. ground cumin (or a little more)
Salt and freshly ground pepper (I used 1/8 tsp. of each; there is probably plenty of salt in the salsa)
I simply refuse to buy a food processor. I have a blender, hand mixer and some wooden spoons. I should be able to beat, blend, or stir most ingredients with one of these things. Actually, I just don’t want a cupboard full of kitchen gadgets and electronics I don’t use. (I’ll talk about the rice cooker another time.) So, I dug the blender out of the back of my lowest cupboard and rinsed the dust off it. It worked like a charm. It has a button labeled puree that I pressed and watched my ingredients turn into dip. Maybe I’ll leave the blender on the counter for awhile and be inspired to make other recipes that call for processing or blending. It could happen.
