Recently I was looking for a bean spread that I could use on sandwiches - something a little different than hummus, but something that, like hummus, could jazz up a vegetarian sandwich. I Googled "bean spread" and one of the first things to pop up was this recipe from
AllRecipes. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to try it and didn't look at any other recipes.
I have an interesting dilemma with this dish. I really, really like it, but I'm not sure what to do with it. It smelled fantastic cooking and it tasted as good as I imagined it would, but I'm not sure how to serve it. A spread like this is usually served with bread or crackers, but putting such a starchy spread on a piece of starch just didn't seem quite right - I felt like I needed something to cut the, um, starchiness. Crudite doesn't seem quite right either. Anyway, I ate it warmed on a bagel and enjoyed it, starch and all. At least I did figure that out - it's definitely better warm rather than cold, so I think that effectively rules it out as a sandwich spread.
In any case, this spread is VERY simple to put together - probably under 15 minutes total - and it really tastes wonderful. Now, to figure out how to eat it..........
