On Friday my friend Kerry had some people over for her birthday.  Along with probably the best present ever, I brought black bean dip.

This was a recipe I came up with off the top of my head with whatever I had in my cabinets and fridge.  Its a simple recipe that is really, really good.

Take 2 cups of diced onions and a clove of garlic and saute them in a pan with some extra virgin olive oil.  Add 2 tablespoons chili powder, a dash of salt and 1 tablespoon cumin to the saute and cook for about 10 minutes and then take it off the heat completely.

Rinse and drain 1 can of black beans and put them in your food processor.  To the beans, add the onion mixture, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of water and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.  Blend until smooth.

For some spice, saute some chopped jalapenos with the onions.
There is no photo to go along with this post because its not the most photographic dip (as you can imagine).  If i wasnt packing it up to take somewhere else, I suppose I could have taken a nice presentation photo.  Theres always next time….
