Sunny Caribbean Black Bean And Mango Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Combine drained and rinsed beans, undrained beans, yogurt, chile garlic sauce, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth while drizzling in a bit of olive oil to help the process along and to get the desired thickness.
• Pour the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a dollop of chile sauce in the center. Serve with nut crackers, pita chips or any dippables.

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.

Steps:

• Add all ingredients except the mangoes and additional salt and pepper to a 3-quart or larger Crock Pot. Stir gently to combine. Cook on low for 8-10 hours (or on high for 4-6 hours). Stir in the mango, cover, and cook for another 10 minutes or so - just enough to warm the mangoes. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
• Scoop into large bowls and top individual servings with an assortment of toppings, if you like.

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning mix with spoon or electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed. Spread on 10-inch round serving plate.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Blend cream cheese, sour cream, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix, onion powder, and hot pepper sauce together in a bowl. Fold in all but 1 tablespoon green onions; add refried beans, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Jack cheese, salsa, and apricot jam. Transfer mixture to an 8x12-inch baking dish. Top with remaining Cheddar and Jack cheeses.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mixture is bubbling and cheese is slightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Garnish the top with the remaining green onions and serve with warm tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Feel free to adjust jalapeno and garlic according to your taste.
• Combine all ingredients.
• OPTIONAL: For a smoother texture, purée the onions, peppers, garlic, lime juice and cilantro in a food processor, and then mix with the beans and mango.
• Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavours to blend.
• Serve with tortilla chips or tostado as an appetizer, or as an additional salad with grilled meat, or use it to fill a pita for an easy lunch.

Steps:

• Slice the beef into long, thin strips and thread, in zig-zag form, onto 12 bamboo skewers. Lay on a flat plate and set aside.
• For the marinade, dry fry the seeds and nuts in a large wok until evenly brown. Place in a pestle and mortar with a rough surface and crush finely. Or, blend the toasted spices and nuts in a food processor.
• Combine toasted seeds and nuts with the oil, onion, ginger, garlic, tamari and soy sauces, sugar and vinegar. Spread this mixture over the beef and leave to marinate for up to 8 hours (any longer and meat will turn mushy).
• Cook the beef under a moderate grill (broiler) or over a barbecue for 6-8 minutes, turning on each side to ensure an even color.
• To make the mango dip (can be done ahead of time): Process the mango flesh with the chilies, tamari sauce, lime juice, sugar, salt and parsley until smooth.

Steps:

• Sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil until barely soft.
• Add the spices and sauté until very soft.
• Stir in the beans and orange juice and sauté for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
• Mash a few of the beans with a fork or the back of a spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding orange juice or mashing more beans. You can also blend the beans with additional orange juice to make an excellent bean dip!
