Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 teaspoons chili, chopped (I use jar chilli)
  • 1 (400 g) can red kidney beans, drained & washed
  • 1 (400 g) can tomatoes, whole
  • 12-1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 12-34 cup sour cream

Method

  • Preheat oven 180 deg C (350 deg F).
  • Saute onion until soft, add garlic and chilli and cook for a couple more minutes.
  • Add drained kidney beans and tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally - taste now and add more chilli if desired.
  • Using a stick blender or food processor blend until reasonably smooth, although it is nice to have a little texture to show some red of the chilli.
  • Put into shallow ovenproof dish and heat in oven 10 minutes - I use a white corning ware flan dish.
  • Sprinkle cheese over top, (not too thick because it will be too hard to dip into) and pop back in oven to melt cheese.
  • Add a large dollop of sour cream in the middle and serve with original flavoured corn chips for dipping - even fresh vegetable sticks are good with this.
