This is my all time favorite bean dip. It's a lot of work - but worth the time and effort. (The prep time doesn't include time needed to soak the beans) Ingredients:
1 cup dried white bean (great northern or cannellini) |
1/4 lb slab bacon or 4 slices thick bacon, diced |
1 clove garlic, crushed |
2 sprigs fresh thyme |
1 tablespoon ground cumin |
1 tablespoon hot chili powder |
1 tablespoon minced chipotle chile in adobo |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Wash beans; discard bad ones.
2. Cook bacon in large pot on med low until cooked but not crisp.
3. Add garlic; cook 1 min.
4. Add beans, thyme& enough water to cover by at least 3 .
5. Boil, partly cover& simmer to tender (removing any foam)- about 1 hr, 20 min.
6. Drain beans.
7. Remove thyme stalks (the leaves fall off during cooking).
8. Transfer to blender; add cumin, chili powder, chipotles& salt; turn to mix.
9. Slowly add olive oil.
10. Blend for desired consistency.
11. Adjust seasoning w/salt& pepper.
