Laoulis Bean Dip Recipes

EASY WHITE BEAN DIP

Steps:

• To make this you can use a blender, Vitamix, or food processor.
• If you have not rinsed and drained your beans, do so before you start.
• Combine all of your ingredients in your food processor (or whatever you are using to make this in). I suggest waiting to add any seasonings until you are able to taste the progress of your dip.
• Process your dip for 30 seconds, stopping to taste the progress and scrape the sides of the container. Season as needed at this point. Repeat this step until your dip is a smooth texture.
• Transfer to a serving bow, cover, and refrigerate. When ready to serve, add any additional oil, lemon, or seasonings to the top as desired.

ROASTED GARLIC AND WHITE BEAN DIP WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Roast the garlic: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel off most of the garlic's outermost skin but leave the whole head intact. Trim about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic to expose the cloves. Place the garlic on a large piece of aluminum foil, then drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the exposed cloves and close the foil into a pouch. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until you can pierce the center of the head with a knife. Let cool slightly.
• Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the bowl of a food processor. Add the white beans, 4 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, black pepper, cayenne (if using), hot water and salt. Purée until smooth, then taste for salt, pepper, rosemary and lemon juice. Adjust as necessary. Transfer to a serving dish.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the remaining rosemary sprig - it should sizzle. Cook until brown and crisp, flipping once, about 1 minute per side, then transfer to the top of the dip as a garnish. Pour or spoon the remaining olive oil, now infused with rosemary, over the top of the dip. Sprinkle with cayenne for a little additional heat.

Transfer the mixture to an 8x12 inch baking dish. Top with remaining Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
• Bake in the preheated oven 20 to 30 minutes, until cheese is slightly browned.

• Spoon the remaining cup of salsa evenly over the guacamole, then sprinkle the shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, green onions, and finally the black olives. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

LAOULI'S BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Spread the softened cream cheese in a shallow 8 inch by 8 inch baking dish. I often use reduced fat cream cheese.
• Spread the refried beans in a smooth layer on top of the cream cheese.
• Pour the salsa on top of the refried beans and spread evenly.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the salsa in an even layer.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 25 to 35 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
• Serve and enjoy!

BLACK BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add the onions, garlic and jalapeño peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft, about ten minutes. Do not brown.
• Transfer the cooked onion mixture to a blender or food processor and add the black beans, salt, cumin, lime juice, water and cilantro. Blend until smooth (if you're using a blender, you may need to stop and stir a few times to help it out). If the dip is too thick, add more water or lime juice, little by little, to thin it out. Taste and adjust seasoning, then transfer to a serving bowl. Serve warm, cold or room temperature with tortilla chips.
• *Most of the heat from the jalapeños is in the seeds and ribs, so leave those out. If you like a spicier dip, reserve the seeds and add them little by little when you're blending the dip.

THE BEST HOMEMADE BEAN DIP RECIPE

Steps:

• To make on the stovetop, soak the beans in cold water overnight.
• Then pour off the water and place the soaked beans in a large 6 quart sauce pot. Pour fresh water into the pot, covering the beans by 3-4 inches.
• Turn the heat to medium. Add the onion, garlic, and salt. Cover and simmer for 2-4 hours. *The older the dried beans are, the longer they will take to cook.
• You do not have to soak the beans if pressure cooking them. Place them in the Instant Pot, with the onions, garlic, salt, and 5 cups water.
• Set on Pressure Cook High for 35 minutes. Then preform a Natural Release. Once the steam button has dropped it is safe to open the lid. *If the beans are too firm, pressure cook for 5-10 more minutes, then perform a quick release.
• Once the beans are very soft, drain off the liquid and reserve for later use.
• Pour the beans into a large food processor. Add the pico de gallo and 1 cup of reserved liquid. Pulse until mostly smooth. Then add the shredded cheese and pulse a few more times to melt the cheese into the beans. If you like your bean dip to be looser, add another ¼ to ¾ cups of cooking liquid.
• Top with a fresh scoop of pico de gallo on top, and serve with tortilla chips or veggies.
