Winsor Harmon's Black Bean Dip





 Ingredients:

1 can (15 ounces) Black Beans- rinsed and drained

1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion

1 Jalapeno pepper- seeded and chopped

2 garlic cloves- smashed

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1/3 cup low fat sour cream

Directions:

Combine beans, onions, jalapeno, garlic, chili and cumin powder and salt in a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth- stopping every once in awhile to scrap down the bowl.

Add sour cream and mix until well blended.

Transfer to bowl- cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

This recipe came from Soap Opera Cafe by Robin Mattson who played Janet Green. Janet Green is a fictional character that appeared on the daytime soap opera, All My Children. She is commonly known for terrorizing the residents of Pine Valley, including her sister Natalie Marlowe and the murder of Will Cortlandt.

I picked up her cookbook at the Fort White Community Thrift shop. Quite a few recipes I want to try.

Winsor Harmon played Del Henry on All My Children arrived in Pine Valley in 1994 to seek out his half-sister Dixie Martin. Del was the product of an affair between Dixie's father Seabone Hunkle and his "other wife" (Del's mother). Del made his presence known to Dixie, who was shocked that her father had a long term affair and that she had a brother. Eventually, Del and Dixie became close and Del revealed that he had a degenerative kidney disorder and needed a transplant. Dixie agreed to give Del one of her kidneys, despite her husband Tad Martin's insistence that she not. Dixie donated the kidney, which compromised her health for years to come. Del thrived with Dixie's new kidney and his health returned.

BTW- This is SO good!

  1. This dip sounds so good. Will have to try this one. You sure pick up the interesting cook books. I used to watch soap operas, and got my in laws watching them for me when I wasn't home. I gave up on them, but my father in law watched them all the time. Funny memory came to me when this showed up.
