A Recipe for
Spicy Black Bean Spread
“Happy and successful cooking doesn't rely only on know-how; it comes from the heart, makes great demands on the palate and needs enthusiasm and a deep love of food to bring it to life.” |
| Georges Blanc, Ma Cuisine des Saisons |
I'm at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I've just had a mirror put over my kitchen table. |

The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not. |
| Mark Twain |
"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy." |

An empty belly is the best cook. |

Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. |

Rinse and pick over the beans. Soak beans overnight in enough water to
cover. Drain and discard water.
Place beans in kettle. Cover with water and bring to a boil; add bay
leaf. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until very tender, 1 to 1 1/2
hours. Drain. Discard bay leaf. Set aside.
Roast jalapeno and red bell pepper in the broiler or over a gas
burner (or on a barbecue grill) until completely charred and
blackened on all sides. Place in bowl and cover with plastic wrap to
steam for 10 minutes. Remove from bowl and wash off all black outer
skin. Remove seeds and chop finely. (If you want a spicier spread,
leave in some of the jalapeno seeds.)
Combine beans, peppers, garlic, cumin and cilantro in a food
processor, and puree to a thick paste. Add enough vegetable or
chicken stock to make a spreadable consistency. Season to taste with
salt and pepper. Cover and chill.
Yields 2 cups.
