Chipotle Black Bean Dip Recipe
Step 1: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until softened and lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and chipotle and sauté for a minute. Add beans and 1/4 cup water and toss all together over the heat for a few more minutes.
Step 2: In a food processor, purée bean mixture until almost smooth. Add a little water as needed to make a good spreading and dipping consistency — not too runny and not too stiff. Season to taste with salt, pepper and coriander. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve hot or warm or cover and keep in the refrigerator.
Variation: Chipotle Black Bean Melt: Add 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack, or medium cheddar cheese to bean purée. Transfer mixture to a small ovenproof bowl and cover with foil. Before serving, bake in a preheated 350°F oven until beans are bubbling, 5-20 minutes. Brown top lightly under the broiler. Serve hot.
