Cool Pinto Bean Puree

Ingredients

For 6 people

  • 32 ounce(s) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 16 ounce(s) stewed or diced tomatoes, un-drained
  • 2 ounce(s) scallions, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup(s) fresh cilantro or parsley leaves
  • 1 juice of lemon
  • 1 teaspoon(s) chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 ripe plum tomatoes cut into large chunks
  • 15 pitted black olives
  • 8 tablespoon(s) chopped mild green chilies (fresh or canned), optional
  • 1 1/2 cup(s) vegetables stock or water, or as needed

Directions

Combine the beans, canned tomatoes, scallions, and cilantro or parsley in a food processor or blender and process until well pureed. Transfer to a large serving container and stir in the lemon juice, chili powder, and cumin.

Place the green pepper and fresh tomatoes in the food processor and pulse on and off 2 or 3 times. Add the olives and pulse on and off quickly, 2 or 3 times more, or until the vegetables are finely chopped (approximately 1/4-inch pieces).

Stir into the bean puree, then add the chilies if desired. Stir in enough stock or water to achieve a medium-thick consistency. Serve at once or cover and refrigerate until needed.
