Black Bean and Cilantro Spread

From peggy_sue 16 years ago

This dip is easy, and can be as spicey as you like. Perfect for those looking to add extra fiber to their diet.

One 15- or 16-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained, saving the liquid shopping list
1 to 2 teaspoons black bean liquid shopping list
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice or bottled lime juice shopping list
1 teaspoon olive oil shopping list
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce shopping list
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves shopping list
2 tablespoons finely diced red onion shopping list

Drain black beans and save the liquid
Puree the beans, lime juice, olive oil and pepper sauce in a food processor or blender, scraping down the sides once or twice. If the mixture seems too dry for the blender to process, then add 1 to 2 teaspoons fo the black bean liquid to the mixture.
Add the cilantro. Process it just until the leaves are coarsely chopped and well mixed. Stir in the red onion.
Serve the spread at room temperature with crackers, pita bread. (Chilled mixture is difficult to spread)
