How to Make Black Bean And Spinach Pie
- Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a nonstick frypan over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped shallots, 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper. Saute with 2 cloves minced garlic until tender, about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans with a potato masher. Leave some texture for a heartier pie.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped sundried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained), 5 ounces fresh spinach (chopped), and the shallot mixture to the mashed black beans.
- In a separate bowl, stir together 4 ounces light cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Add the cream cheese mixture to the black bean mixture and stir well to combine.
- Set aside.
- To make the crust, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 cup wheat germ, and 1/4 cup grated Asiago cheese in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted margarine (cut into cubes), 1/4 cup milk, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 large egg.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The mixture will be soft.
- Spray a 10-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray.
- Spread the crust dough evenly along the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate.
- Carefully spread the black bean filling over the crust.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Sprinkle 1/3 cup grated Asiago cheese and 1/4 cup chopped pine nuts over the top of the pie.
- Return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with salsa and sour cream, if desired.
