Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Dried white beans, soaked &
-cooked
3 Cloves garlic, crushed
Salt & pepper to taste
2 T Olive oil
6 T Fresh lime juice
3 T Water
2 Hot chilies, minced
2 Scallions, minced
1/4 c Finely chopped cilantro
Use any kind of bean for this recipe (black beans don't do as well,
however): white, navy, pea, pinto, garbanzo, kidney. If you don't
want to deal with dry beans, use 2 cups of drained canned beans.
Puree all ingredients except scallions and cilantro in a food
processor or a blender, using more or less water to achieve your
desired texture. Work the green herbs in by hand; if you use the
machine, the dip will be green. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with
additional cilantro sprigs.
Serve with tortilla chips. Make your own low-fat chips by brushing
whole corn tortillas lightly with oil, cutting tortillas into wedges,
then baking in a 350 degree oven till brown and crisp, 10 to 15
minutes, turning once.
Adapted shamelessly from a recipe in Steven Raichlen's book, "High
Flavor, Low Fat Cooking".
