Dips are pretty awesome

Some of the best cooking takes planning, time, preparation, lots of involved work, and triumphant relaxing afterwards while waiting on the product to come out of the oven a casual victory at best. On the other hand, some of the best cooking begins as an 'Oh shit what did I just do this is horrible' moment and it turns out wonderful, and you can flip the double bird to all the complicated recipes.


Lovely Assistant was making hummus when she remarked, "God damnit we weren't supposed to put garlic salt in this," followed by a determined, "I'm putting the goddamn pinto beans in this, whatever." It turned out that the profanity and the pinto beans were rather remarkable additions to the mixture and turned out insanely well. And then we pretended that we had meant for that to happen all along, and called it bean dip.

Sometimes you can take preparation and shove it.

Bean Dip

I hope you've bought that food processor by now.

Ingredients:
2 15 oz can chickpeas
1 15 oz can black beans
1 15 oz can pinto beans
4 tbsp Greek yogurt (YES STILL)
1/2 cup red onion
1 1/2 cup pineapple (DON'T QUESTION IT WE'RE CRAZY OVER HERE)
2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
4 tsp water
lime to taste

Do you know where the blend button is on the food processor? Good. Drain beans, chop up pineapple and onion, throw everything into the food processor and spinchop everything all things ever. And eat it with tortilla chips or pretzels or cucumber or whatever, man.



Mistakes can be DELICIOUS if you just add some pineapple.
