Ingredients for Pureed Black Beans

Method

Directions for Pureed Black Beans

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all your ingredients and chopping the onion and mincing the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a blender or food processor, combine the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, canned black beans (drained and rinsed), cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and vegetable broth or water. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more broth or water as needed.

  4. 4

    Blend Until Smooth

    Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor to ensure everything is well combined.

  5. 5

    Add Lime Juice

    Once the black bean mixture is smooth, add the lime juice and blend for a few more seconds to incorporate.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the pureed black beans to a serving bowl. If desired, stir in chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor. Serve warm or at room temperature as a dip, spread, or side dish.
