Anazaki Bean Dip 

Anazaki beans can be used interchangeably with pinto beans or red beans.  They have a creamy mild flavor that seems almost sweet compared to a pinto bean.  When a couple of my beer drinking friends came by,  I transformed these beans into an awesome dip.

HERE'S ALL I DID

• 1 1/2 cups cooked anazuki beans or red beans
• 2 green onions
• 1 garlic clove
• handful fresh cilantro
• tortillas chips

Put all the ingredients in small food processor and blend until almost smooth but there's still chunky bits.  EAT UP!

HERE! HAVE A BITE!

You can easily substitute the anazaki beans with red beans and this dip would be just as delicious.  Don't worry about trying to find anazaki beans if they're not available at your local grocer.  They're good, but I wouldn't trapes all over town looking for them.  I just want to keep it honest here.
