Easy Black Bean Dip

We’ve been in remodel mode since we closed on our first home at the end of May, so finding foods that are delicious and easy to prepare. Factor in that I didn’t have an oven for three weeks and you add to the challenge.

After perusing some recipes on line, and thinking about my old camping days, I thought I’d try a new take on an “instant bean dip”. Surely I could come up with something a little tastier than those sandwich size ziploc bags full of strange powder that I used to add cold, campsite water too right?

The other day I ground up some black beans into a flour using my trusty WonderMill. After the chickpea attempt earlier this week (more about that later) I was a bit apprehensive that my mill didn’t like me much. Luckily it all worked out and I produced a nice whitish gray powder.

We tore up our living room floors over the weekend so I wanted a nice easy snack this afternoon. I came up with this easy black bean dip that ended up being pretty tasty!

You’ll need:

3/4 cup black bean flour
1/2 tsp chili powder (or more according to taste)
1/2 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp ground sea salt
2 1/2 cups hot water
1/2 cup of your favorite salsa. I prefer verde.

Combine your black bean flour, spices and water in a 2qt sauce pan on medium heat. Stir constantly for about a minute until nicely combined.

Reduce heat to medium low and cover, stirring occasionally for about 4-5 minutes.

Remove from heat, remaining covered and let stand for about 15 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa and serve with your favorite chips. (I like the lime ones, which aren’t gluten free I don’t think but yours might be!)

Funny side note – black bean dip will look green when cooked, not black. Who knew? 🙂
