Argentine Black Bean Flatbread With Chimichurri Drizzle Recipe #219054
I got this via a chef who linked Cooking Light. I'm using her recipe #38560 for teh Chimichurri instead of this one. I usu. knead my dough in my Bosch mixer, but it didn't work this time. So I did it by hand. I found a trick: Kneaded it in my seasoned stoneware bar pan and it didn't stick at all, without flour. You won't use all of the black bean spread, so save for a dip with baked tortilla chips, a topping for a taco salad, or as a taco or burrito filler.
