My husband is an amazing cook and is the BEST at putting things you have in your fridge together to make something fantastic. Like, you could have a squash, some cherry JELL-O, some leftover pork chops, and some seltzer and somehow he makes gourmet mac-n-cheese out of all of it. I do not lie. As proof, here is the recipe for one of his latest creations—Black Bean Hummus! You won’t be disappointed…
Ingredients:
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
Half a medium-sized jalapeño
2 pinches of chunks of yellow onion
2 gurgles of olive oil out of a bottle
Dash of kosher salt
Dash of freshly ground black pepper
Juice of one lime, scrape a little pulp out, too
Directions
1. Put it all in your Magic Bullet or food processor, and turn it on. (Note: If you do not own a Magic Bullet, you are not living.)
2. Shake it a little.
3. Done and done. Delish.
I love when he makes this. It is SO good, so healthy and such a great vegetable dip (we put together small packs of fresh veggies for our lunches during the week and add a scoop of this to it) or chip dip. You can also spread the hummus on a sandwich, or eat it off of your finger. Not that we do that. —Stephanie Carroll
