Super Bowl Bean Dip

Tomorrow is Super Bowl, which has become a national holiday of eating (and drinking, if you drink) to excess.  It's a reason to eat fatty foods with friends and family:  fried chicken wings, dips with high calorie ingredients, pizza, chips.

But why not have something healthy, too?

Here's a Super Bowl Bean Dip.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups cooked beans - pinto or black or other favorite bean
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp olive oil
1 pkt Goya Sazon seasoning (note, this contains MSG and salt, so you may want to use this as an alternative.)
ground chili powder to taste
1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
6 green onions/scallions (whatever you call them where you live) or to taste, roughly chopped


Method
If using whole cumin seeds, grind in a mortar and pestle
Saute garlic cloves in oil in low heat for about three minutes
Mix in cumin seeds

Add all the above to the beans and mash with a potato masher until mashed up.

Then add the chili powder.

Add Greek yogurt and mix.

Add chopped green onions/scallions and mix.

Can be made a day in advance and chilled.  Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed.

Note:  this is my spouse's recipe. He cooks by "feel" so all measurements are approximate.

This is a perfect recipe for those following WW (formerly Weight Watchers), which I do.

  1. I'm not much of a dip person, but this I think I could do. But not for the game. I don't watch the game. I actively avoid it (like I'm doing right now, commenting on blogs...).
