Black Bean Dip

1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 large green pepper, diced
1/4 onion, diced
1/2 tsp vegetable oil
1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained well
2 tbs fresh lime juice
2 tbs chopped coriander sprigs
1/2 tsp coriander seeds
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp sambal oelek or to taste
salt to taste
fresh ground pepper to taste
1 tbs water
Saute the first 4 ingredients in a non-stick skillet til onion is translucent and remove from heat.
In food processor, blend 1/2 cup beans, lime juice, coriander sprigs, spices, and water til smooth. Add onion mixture and blend again. Add the rest of black beans, stir, and chill dip for at least 3 hrs and up to a day.
Recipe adapted from Gourmet
Note: The sambal oelek gave the dish a more spicy note and also heightened the sweet and sour notes for this dish. In the past, I have also added bacon. Use 1-2 slices of bacon, cook til crisp and drained on paper towel. Chop coarsely and use as garnish.

Hi Sandi,

I seldom have Mexican food cos I don't really like it...doe noe why.
The secret ingredient here is sambal olek, definitely!
We love mexican food here.. this is so easy huh, we always have beans in our house and my son loves cumin, so this will be on the table soon...
Do your girls eat this? You are constantly churning out new dishes...I am thinking, "Wow, your family is so blessed with your culinary skill".

Hi Cris,
Glad to hear that your son likes cumin! My kids are not there yet.
Hi Judy,
No, this was too spicy for my kids. I made a non-spicy refried bean dip for them instead, and they liked it! Thanks!
Hi Padma,

Black bean dip is one of my favourites. I like it spicy with a lot of chilies :)
