    You can use Yumbini quick beans and rice to make a dip for vegetables! Not just for quick meals (though it is good for that too!)
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Note: the flavors in this dip "bloom" (get stronger and blend together) over time. Serve with raw or lightly blanched (2-3 minutes in boiling water) vegetables. Makes 3 cups.
