Ingredients

1 tablespoon coconut or grape seed oil
½ of a yellow onion (diced)
4 cloves garlic
1 - 2 tablespoons cumin seed
1 cup canned plum or cherry tomato
1 can or 1 ½ cups of cooked black beans
½ - 1 chipotle pepper plus a little adobo sauce
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup basil leaves
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat a medium or large fry pan on medium heat then add the oil followed by the onions and garlic.
Sauté, stirring frequently until the onions and garlic are nicely caramelized.
Add the cumin seeds and sauté for 1 minute.
Now add the tomato along with some of the juice and bring to a simmer.
Once the liquid from the tomato has thickened up nicely transfer everything to a food processor or blender.
Add the black beans, chipotle pepper and olive oil to the processor as well and puree until smooth.
Now add in the basil, salt and pepper and pulse until combined and the basil is chopped. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 5 days. This recipe also freezes quite well.
