We were holding a celebration drinks party for my Daughter’s Graduation
I was on food,
I made some of the usual Suspects
Chicken Sandwiches, Spinach Puffs, Mushroom Tarts, Guacamole, Blinis with Creme Fraiche and Smoked Salmon
We thought we should try something new... A Hot Bean Dip perhaps?
So I surfed the Net and found this recipe on the Allrecipes site
This is a keeper and we will make it again
It’s not the prettiest dish but look at the wonderful ingredients
1 400 gm can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
3/4 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup mild picante sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup shredded Tasty cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Place black beans in a medium size mixing bowl,
partially mash beans -- beans should remain a little chunky.
Add cumin
In a medium size frying pan, heat oil over a medium heat.
Stir in onion and garlic and sauté for 4 minutes.
Mix beans, corn, tomato, picante sauce, and chili powder into the frying pan;
Cook for 5 minutes or until thickened.
Remove the pan from the heat,
Mix in cheese, cilantro and lime juice;
Stir until cheese is melted.
Corn chips best on the side
