This is a creamy, spicy bean dip made with red kidney beans, tomato and dark chocolate. It's a snap to put together and packs loads of flavours. Enjoy it with chips, homemade crackers or crudités as an appetizer or a snack between meals.

  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 (150 g) Tomato, chopped
  • 1 Red chilli pepper, sliced
  • 1 tin (400 g) Red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 100 ml Red wine
  • 80 ml Vegetable broth or water
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 50 g 75% Dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp Lime juice
  • 1 tsp Tabasco sauce
  • 1 tbsp Chives, chopped, to garnish
  • 1 tbsp Cacao nibs, to garnish
  • Chillie pepper flakes, to garnish
  1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add in chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring, until aromatic, for 2 minutes.
  2. Add in chopped tomato, chopped chilli pepper, and red kidney beans. Stir briefly. Pour in red wine and broth or water. Season with cumin, salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. If you prefer a chunky dip, then use a potato masher to mash everything together. Stir in chopped chocolate. Set aside to cool.
  4. Stir lime juice and tabasco into the mixture. Transfer to a serving plate. Granish with cacao nibs, chives and chilli flakes.

    That is defo something I would never eat, and I do think it is a crime against food mixing chocolate with tomatoes LOL and you should say a hundred Hail Marys to repent LOL but I do like the way you arranged it on that black plate.

    Angie, As usual, your recipe is inventive and shows lots of imagination. While I think that with all the spices, I'd really like it, my wife has an issue with beans of any type. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    I admit it was the chocolate that drew me to this recipe. ;-) All of the other ingredients are such a delicious combination, that I bet it puts it over the top. And of course, you've made it look so pretty. :-) ~Valentina
