Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Black Bean & Greek Olive P T With Walnuts


vegetarian, spreads

1/2 cup dry black beans; 1 c cooked
2 teaspoon cold pressed olive oil
1/4 onion; finely chopped
1 centiliter garlic; finely chopped
1/4 lb fresh mushrooms; sliced
1/2 cup walnuts
1/3 lb large greek olives
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pimento slices

Soak the black beans in 2 cups of water overnight, or combine them with 2 cups of water in a saucepan, boil for 2 minutes, and let stand 1 hour. Cook in the soaking water over medium heat until very tender, about 1 hour, then drain and pur e in a food processor or by putting them through a potato ricer or coarse strainer. In a skillet, heat the oil, and the onion, and cook until golden. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, cover, and cook 5 minutes. Uncover and cook until all the liquid has been absorbed. Place the walnuts in a blender or food processor and grind to the consistency of corn meal. Remove the olive pits and discard, then chop the olives finely. Combine all the ingredients except the pimento slices in a blender or food processor and blend until fairly smooth, but not creamy. Turn into a serving dish and chill. Garnish with pimento slices and serve with Garlic and Herb Bread Chips (See recipe) or squares of toast.
