I used 1 fresh chorizo link with the casing removed. The chorizo got a bit lost behind the other flavors, which was a bit disappointing for me since I love chorizo. It was still very good otherwise though! This makes enough for a small army (I put half in a tupperware in the freezer) so I might try again with everything about the same but only one can of beans (and maybe double the chorizo!) It was taking a long time to reduce the liquid so I ended up scooping the beans out and putting them in the blender while I waited. I added the lemon juice, zest and parsley to the blender and the cream cheese (reduced fat), tahini & cumin went into the reduced liquid to combine before going in the blender also. After tasting, I added another Tbsp lemon juice. Served with warm naan bread. Thanks for sharing! [Made for Spring 2013 Pick A Chef]

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
