A recipe for Mexican dip to tickle your taste budsShop bought dips are often not gluten free, so here is a recipe for Mexican dip that is safe to eat.Red kidney beans are the most popular bean used today. What would a chilli con carne be without them? This dip can be used as an appetizer or as part of a packed lunch. Try it with sticks of cool cucumber, crispy carrot, celery or other vegetables. Its also great with any gluten free crips (or chips) or hot with gluten free toast. Ingredients
MethodStart by washing the beans thoroughly. Then place them in a bowl and cover with cold water. Leave them to stand in the refrigerator overnight. If you can, change the water at least once. This helps to avoid any embarrasing flatulence problems!The next day, drain the beans and place in a medium sized saucepan. Cover with fresh water and bring to the boil. Cover and boil rapidly for at least 10 minutes. This step is important to destroy the toxin that is contained in the beans. Reduce the heat and simmer over a low heat until the beans are soft. This will take around 1.5 hours. Then drain the cooked beans over a bowl, reserving the cooking liquid. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the beans, mashing them with a potato masher until you have a smooth mixture. Add some of the reserved liquid if the mixture seems to be too dry. Stir constantly. Add the grated cheese and chilli powder. Stir until the cheese melts. Season to taste. To eat hot, pour the dip into a warmed bowl and serve with toast or freshly baked gluten free bread rolls. Or pop into a thermos flask for your lunch at work. To serve cold refrigerate in a covered bowl or box. I do hope you will try this recipe for Mexican dip.
