It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).


1 can (15 ounce size) black beans, drained
1 tablespoon sesame tahini
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon low-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon minced tomato
1 tablespoon lime juice
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Add the drained beans, tahini, garlic, and cumin to a blender or food processor.
Process until smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally.
Add the remaining ingredients and process until mixed.
Serve at room temperature with baked tortilla chips, pita wedges, or veggie dippers.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

We liked this recipe because it was a nice change from the chickpea versions. You can tweak the garlic and cumin amounts to taste, but as written we liked it. Let it chill for 1 hour at least before serving, for the flavors to really develop. We used organic canned black beans, but we might try this again with black soy beans. Black soy beans are a little bit healthier, but tend to be more firm so it might result in a chunkier consistency. We'll report back if we do try the alternate.
