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.

Welcome! I hope I bring a spot of calm and happiness into these uncertain times. I blog about my photography adventures, flowers, gardening, the importance of chocolate in a well lived life, or anything else on my mind.

Perfect alternative for high fat dips.
ReplyDeleteI'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...).
