Layered Black Bean Dip Recipe

Layered Black Bean Dip Recipe

  • 2 teaspoons Safeway SELECT Olive Oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
  • 2 tablespoons purchased mole paste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth, or as needed
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans O Organics Black Beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups lightly packed cilantro leaves
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
  • 1/4 cup Safeway SELECT Green Taco Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Deli Counter crumbled feta cheese
  1. In a wide nonstick frying pan, combine oil, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until onion is tinged with brown (about 4 minutes). Add mole paste and 1/2 cup broth. Stir to incorporate mole; then cook, stirring, until almost all liquid has evaporated (about 4 minutes). Remove from heat.
  2. Add beans to pan, mashing about half of them to thicken the mixture. If mixture is too thick for dipping easily, stir in a little more broth, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture has the desired consistency. Spread bean mixture 3/4 inch thick on a platter; set aside. (At this point, you may cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.)
  3. In a food processor or blender, combine cilantro, chiles, and taco sauce. Whirl until mixture forms a paste as thick as pesto; occasionally scrape down paste from sides of container.
  4. Spoon chile mixture over center of beans; sprinkle cheese over chile mixture.
