About this recipe

Go the distance with Scott’s favorite, nutrient-packed sandwich with Just Egg Folded and a Jamaican-style jerk black bean spread.

You’ll make more of the sandwich spread than you need for this recipe – use this flavorful, fiber-rich spread throughout the week on sandwiches, in wraps or as a dip for veggies and chips.

Says Scott, “I’m a big fan of incorporating beans into more meals and this spread is a great way to do that. They’re nutrient-dense, easy to work with and add that extra boost of carbs and protein I’m looking for when I’m in training mode.”

Make the black bean spread

Soak the cashews in water for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight (or if you’re in a rush, you can boil for 10 minutes). Preheat the ½ teaspoon of olive oil a small nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Sauté the diced bell pepper until softened and browning in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a high-speed blender or food processor. Add the rest of the spread ingredients and process until smooth, adding water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, to help it blend. Taste for salt. Transfer the mixture to a container and keep refrigerated.
