Oh yeah.  Good recipe for a football Sunday.

I was watching the game and making the dip – on the sofa, off the sofa, on the sofa, off the sofa.

I didn’t cook anything except to heat the corn which is not quite how this recipe goes.DSC_3094

My ingredients were:   Differences from original recipe in red

  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped (6 green onions)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 15 oz can drained and rinsed black beans
  • 1 1/2 TBS Pomegranate, Black Bean & Chipotle Chile Sauce
  • DSC00147
  • 3 TBS lemon juice (can you believe I had no LIME?!)
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • DID NOT USE WATER
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen corn – cooked 5 minutes in 1/4 cup water to heat through.
  • 2 TBS chopped cilantro
  • 3 ripe Haas Avocados
  • 4 tomatoes – chopped
  • 1 tsp dried chives
  • 1 TBS diced jalapeno pepper
  • 1 cup Extra Sharp cheddar cheese – shredded.

Although the game was bad, the dip was great.

I put 1/2 of the onions, the garlic, beans, chile sauce, 1 TBS of lemon juice, cumin, and salt into my NEW Food Processor (thanks Mum and Dad! )…and pureed.DSC00149

I mixed the corn with the rest of the chopped green onion and stirred in the cilantro – again, no cooking.

I mashed my avocados (left it a bit lumpy), and added lemon juice. *Geesh! I really wish I had the lime juice!

Chopped my tomatoes and mixed with the chive and jalapeno. Seasoned with S & P.  I then layered it as directed.  Served with crackers.

Heather – Touchdown!   Fantastic choice for this weeks CEimB recipe group. 

The best thing about avocado and tomato is the burst of fresh flavors that happen when it hits your mouth.  This dip did just that.  Nothing too hot. Not over spiced. Perfecto!
