Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups of cooked Camellia Brand Red Kidney Beans, drained of excess “juice” (Use the Red Bean Infusion)
  • 1/2 cup sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 tablespoons oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
  • Juice of 1/2 a lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
  • Bean liquid or broth to thin the dip, as needed
  • Garnishes (optional): cilantro, green onions
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow and/or orange bell pepper (plus 4 to 6 whole red bell peppers, sliced for dipping)
  • Jalapeno or serrano, thinly sliced

Directions:

  1. Follow the instructions of the Red Bean Infusion to cook beans. Reserve 2 cups of cooked beans for this recipe. Drain any excess liquid and reserve for later
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions and garlic until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add the beans.
  3. In a blender or food processor, add the 2 1/2 cups of seasoned red beans w/onion, garlic, 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, and cayenne or hot sauce. Squeeze in the lime juice. Blend, adding a bit of reserved cooking liquid or broth until smooth and creamy.
  4. For a creamier dip, blend in the sour cream or Greek yogurt until fully incorporated.
  5. Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed with salt and pepper.
  6. Garnish with cilantro, green onions, or shredded cheese if you like. Serve with chips, crackers, or veggie sticks.
