Preparation
Various types of beans can be used in bean dip's preparation, including black beans, pinto beans,[1] kidney beans, white beans, fava beans, lima beans and edamame, a preparation of immature soybeans in the pod.[2] Raw beans that are soaked and cooked may be used,[2] as can prepared canned beans and refried beans.[3][4] The use of canned beans can result in a creamier dip, because beans prepared in canneries are pressure cooked in the can,[3] creating a product with a creamier mouthfeel. Prepared canned green chili peppers may also be used.[5] Prepared dried bean flakes may also be used in the dish's preparation.[6] The bean flakes are reconstituted into a bean paste using boiling water.[6]
A myriad of additional ingredients may be used, including onion, garlic, roasted red bell pepper, red and green chili peppers, lime, lime juice, lime zest, lemon juice, vinegar, oil, lard, spices such as cumin, coriander, chili powder and cayenne, hot sauce, salt, pepper and water.[1][2][3][4][7][8]
The various ingredients may be mixed or puréed together using a food processor,[1][3] a blender, or by hand. Bean dip may be topped with shredded cheese[2] and garnished with ingredients such as chopped cilantro, chopped green onion, chopped fresh or dried parsley[1][3] and lime zest, among others.
Bean dip may be prepared as a vegan and gluten-free dish.[8]
Commercial varieties
Some companies mass-produce bean dips, such as Frito-Lay, which produces Fritos Bean Dip.[9]
Service
Bean dip may be served cold, at room temperature, or as a hot dish.[5]
