How to Make Easy Vegan Bean Spread
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped celery and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional). Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon tomato paste and 1 teaspoon of your favorite dried herbs (oregano, cumin, chili powder are great options).
- Add 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed pinto beans (or black/red beans). Mash partially with a potato masher or fork to your desired consistency.
- Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld.
- Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (or red wine vinegar), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and additional pepper to taste.
- Adjust consistency with a little water if needed. The mixture should be spreadable but not watery.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
