Not a review...sorry! Just wanted to comment to Ami in D-land that I have always been led to believe that you shouldn't add any salt to the water when cooking beans as it makes them tough, you should add it after cooking. I'm assuming that any broth or stock that you use for cooking would contain salt.

This recipe was the first real test of my new food processor. They were easy to make. Although bland by themselves (next time I will use broth instead of plain water), I didn't miss salt or fat in the layer dip I made. A great cheap alternative to the inflated prices I pay for canned beans here in Germany. Thanks!
