A fresh and tasty bean dip that will please everyone! The cumin brings this dip out of the hordes of endless dips that all taste the same. The fact that this dip is made of healthy tepary beans and no dairy means that it’s great for any occasion, and for your vegan friends.
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup dried tepary beans
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- pinch dried red pepper
- additional pinch dried oregano
Directions:
Sort and rinse beans and place in one quart of cold water in a lidded pot. Soak in refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight. After soaking, drain beans and place in lidded pot with another quart of water. Simmer, covered, one to two hours or until tender. Drain excess liquid from beans and refrigerate overnight. Puree beans, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin, and oregano until smooth. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl and sprinkle with dried red pepper and additional oregano. Serve with crackers, crudités, or pita chips. Makes about 1-1/4 cups.
