Method

  1. Add 1 cup beans, lemon juice, cumin powder, garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water into a food processor and process until a smooth puree.
  2. Place ¾ cup of the remaining beans in a bowl, add ½ teaspoon salt and using a potato masher, mash slightly until chunky but not completely mashed. Add the remaining ¼ beans and the bean puree. Combine well.
  3. Place all the salsa ingredients in another bowl and combine well.

    Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.

    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
