About this recipe
Red kidney bean and bell pepper spread is a plant-based snack with olive oil, garlic and smoked paprika, ideal with bread or vegetables. Blended kidney beans make a thick, satisfying base, while fresh bell pepper adds a gently sweet flavor and color. Smoked paprika gives it a deeper, more savory aroma, so it tastes rounded despite the short ingredient list. If the mixture is too thick, add the measured, reserved bean liquid while blending. Use it as a sandwich spread, a vegetable dip or a simple lunchbox snack.
Ingredients
1 can red beans
1/2 red bell pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove
a pinch of smoked paprika
To serve
raw vegetable sticks or bread
Steps
Drain the beans, reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid. Remove the bell pepper's core and seeds and cut it into smaller pieces.
Add the garlic, olive oil, and smoked paprika.
Blend everything into an easily spreadable paste. If it is too thick, add the reserved bean liquid a tablespoon at a time, using no more than 2 tablespoons in total, and blend again.
Check the consistency and serve the spread at room temperature or chilled, with the prepared accompaniments.
