bean dip
Some of us like to walk on the wild side! Now spicy can mean something different to everyone, which is why I love flexible recipes that allow me to turn up the heat, or keep it a more mellow, but still flavorful recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup Brown Tepary beans
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp each - Cumin seeds, Coriander seeds
  • Cayenne & chili powder to taste
  • 2 Tbsp Organic Sour Cream or spoonfuls to taste
  • Organic Jack Cheese
  • 1/4 c reserved liquid from beans - as necessary for creaminess/texture

Directions:

Soak beans. Cook in crock pot on high for 6-8 hrs, till beans are tender.In a mortar & pestle or spice grinder - crush spices. In a food processor, mix beans and spices and liquid ingredients

I like best served warm w/ melted cheese and chips!
