Red Kidney Bean and Lime Dip
Make on Fresco
The best little ode to Mexicana yet. You have to think about this one in advance but it is soo delicious, it is well worth setting an alarm to make it
This dip is not attractive. I’m not kidding. They don’t call them kidney beans for nothing. They look a little too, well, kidney coloured...which you have to admit is not all that attractive.
However, through the magic of lime zest (thank you nature!!) and a bit of the (thank you Great Southern Groves) then you can look the other way and really once you taste it, there is no going back. This is completely delish! It was always a fave in my Mexican Flavour cooking classes. Now make it your fave too. Thinking ahead is required, just a little, but you will totally enjoy this, especially if you get all Martha Stewart on me and whip up a batch of your own home made tortillas which you can then oven bake with some parmesan all over them We call them Tortilla Triangles. YUM. No complaints. Not from my mob anyway.
