Trash Dip By request

By special request...


1 ripe avocado
1 container of sour cream (full cream is best)
1 tin of kidney beans (drained silly)
1 packet of low salt taco seasoning
1 tin peeled tomatoes
1 roughly chopped brown onion
2 crushed or chopped garlic clove
fresh lemon juice
salt, pepper
2-3 shallots sliced
grated cheese
1 ripe tomato, diced

• Fry the onion in some olive oil till soft. Add the garlic, cook for a minute or so. Add the beans and then a quater of the taco seasoning, peeled toms and a splash of water. Stir it together, bring to the boil and then turn down and simmer for a bit. Till it cooks down a bit is good. Once cooked, set aside to cool.
• While the beans are cooking make a quacamole. Mash your avocado with a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper and a little bit of fresh garlic. Mix it all together good. If you want to make it go a bit further add a spoon of sour cream.
• Now make your sour cream layer. Mix the carton of sourcream with about half of the remaining taco seasoning. Taste it, and add some more if it doesn't tast flavourful enough (did I just make a word up??).
• Now, it's a good idea to set put everything in the fridge to cool/re set before you layer the trash dip, but if you have no time at the very least make sure the beans are cold first.
• Use a plate or a platter...whatever you like. I like that square black dish in the photo above but I've used a regular dinner plate before, no hassle and Mum used to use a rectangular glass baking dish.
• Spread the beans across the bottom of the dish. Now spoon big spoonfuls of the guacamole on top and gently spread it to kind of cover the beans. Now spoon and pour the sourcream layer over the top and gentley spread it to cover the guacamole layer. Easy peasy.
• Now sprinkle grated cheese, diced tomato then the shallots over the top and if you feel like it some chopped continental parsley.
  
• YUM! Serve with corn chips or water crackers.
• Double yum!
