Pureed Black Beans Food

BLACK BEAN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Puree the undrained black beans and their liquid in a food processor until smooth. Put the brownie mix and pureed beans in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until combined, about 2 minutes. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack and cut into squares.

BLACK BEAN PUREE WITH CILANTRO

Steps:

• Simmer the beans in water to cover with the onion, celery, carrot, tomatoes, garlic, chili, cumin and pepper for one hour. Season to taste with salt. Add more water if necessary and cook until tender.
• Puree the beans in two batches with their liquid in a food processor, adding enough of the chicken stock to make a smooth puree. Correct seasoning. Before serving, sprinkle the puree with cilantro.

BLACK BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Pick through the beans and discard any debris - wash under cold running water. In a food processor, add garlic, onion, bell pepper, and cilantro.
• Set a large pot over medium heat and add a 3-count of olive oil. Add the oregano and cumin. Add vegetable puree and saute until just fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Add beans, ham hock, jalapeno, and stock. Slightly cover and simmer for 2 hours until beans are tender.
• When cooked, remove bay leaves and take out ham hock. Cut ham meat off the bone, cut into pieces and set aside.
• Using a blender or immersion blender, puree just enough of the beans and stock (about a third of the total pot) to thicken up the soup and bring everything together. Season with salt and pepper and fold ham meat back into the soup.
• Make the crema by combining sour cream and zest. Serve each soup with a spoonful of lime crema, a squeeze of lime and some fresh cilantro.

BLACK BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Puree two 14-ounce cans black beans (drained and rinsed), 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup each olive oil and lemon juice, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon ground cumin and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a food processor until almost smooth. Let sit 15 minutes before serving.
