Black Bean Dip

Instructions

1.    Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onions and capsicums, and cook until onion is soft and translucent. Stir in garlic, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently so garlic doesn’t burn.

2.    Place water and 2 cups of beans in a food processor or blender; process until smooth. Pour the pureed beans into pan and stir. Add the remaining beans, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.
