Caramelized Black Bean Spread

This Caramelized Black Bean Spread is good as a dip, a spread or you can use it in tacos and burritos.

It has caramelized onion to give it depth of flavour but also uses a signature Mexican flavour – cocoa!

Mexican chocolate is famous and traditional. It is often in the more complex mole sauces.

It adds an interesting note to this spread as well.

I served it as a dip/spread with this Overnight No Knead Focaccia Bread.

Baked focaccia brea with chive stems for flower stems, onions and black olives for blossoms, chive blossoms and cherry tomato blossom with black olive center. Clouds made of goat cheese.
