Ingredients
FOR THE FRIJOLES
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 25g (¾oz) butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp chipotle paste
- 400g (14oz) can of black beans, drained and liquid reserved
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
TO SERVE
- 50g (2oz) cooking chorizo, casing removed and roughly chopped
- a handful of coriander leaves, roughly chopped
- sour cream
- tortilla chips or raw vegetable sticks, for dipping
How to make it
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a frying pan over low heat. Add the onion and cook for 10 minutes, or until softened. You’re not trying to brown it, just sweat it down.
- Add the garlic and chipotle paste and cook for another few minutes.
- Empty the beans and a little of their liquid into the pan. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Add everything to a food processor and blend until smooth. Empty into a bowl.
- Fry the chorizo in a hot frying pan until crispy. (You won’t need any oil for this as it’ll release plenty of its own fat). Once crispy, chop into smaller chunks.
- Drizzle over the sour cream, sprinkle over the chorizo and coriander. Serve with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.
