10 to 12 oz jar pitted green olives puree'd (blender or cuisinart).
30 seconds to one minute, until desired texture. We like it smooth, but you may go for chunks. 1 lime (for zest and juice)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 scallion chopped fine
15 oz. can ShariAnn's Refried beans, your choice
2-3 dashes hot sauce
Set aside 1-2 cups veg. oil, 2 cups rice vinegar
Combine:
1/2 cup sesame oil
1/2 cup honey
4 dashes Wochestershire
4 tsp. ginger, powdered
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup shallots(peeled cut into pieces)
2T-Garlic-fresh cloves
Pinch-red pepper flakes
6-8 dashes of tobassco
In processor, honey, worchester sauce, ginger, dijon mustard,shallots, garlic, tobassco&pepper flakes.
Slowly add sesame oil, alternating with Rice Vinegar, to keep at a salad-dressing consistency. You will be using ALL of the sesame oil, and ALL of the rice vinegar, but only as much vegetable oil as needed to get the consistency you want. We use this as a salad dressing on bean salad, (use any combination of ShariAnn's beans you like), use at least enough to coat the beans. Garnish with chopped Green onion. Let sit for a while for the flavors to develop. This also makes a terrific marinade or pasta sauce! Or add habenero pepper for a Tasty Thai sauce!
