Make Roasted Garlic Remoulade Dip with Bread & Butter Pickles
Place well dried beans in a large bowl. Add the oil, cajun seasonings, cornmeal and salt, and mix well until all are the beans are coated.
Heat a cast iron over high heat. Turn on exhaust fan. When the pan is very hot and smoking, add half the beans in a single layer. Do not stir, let sizzle and start to blacken.
When smoking and started to blacken (check one) stir until blackened mostly all ove - but still crisp- tender, about 4 minutes.
Remove to a large plate. Carefully wipe out any seasoning in the pan, and repeat with the rest of the beans. Taste for salt. Serve immediately with Remoulade Sauce for dipping.
* With concerns about gmo’s and processing of oils, use a vegetable oil which has not been chemically treated, this is called “expeller pressed." Such as safflower oil.
