White Bean Dip with Herbs

gluten free plant based recipes sauces & spreads Jul 11, 2012

This fast and healthy bean dip is the perfect protein packed snack that you can make ahead of time. Just keep a container stored in the fridge and have some with fresh cut vegetables or crackers when you get that hunger pang.

 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

3 garlic cloves, very finely chopped

1 teaspoon finely chopped sage

1/2 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary

2 cups cooked cannellini beans (white)

2 tbsp. purified water

½ tsp. sea salt

½ tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)

 

Directions:

Add all ingredients (except 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil) to a food processor (or blender) and process until smooth. Transfer the dip to a small serving bowl, drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil on top, garnish with some leftover herbs and serve with fresh cut vegetables or crackers. 

 

Notes: 

Soak the dried beans over night. Cook them in double the amount of water before starting the recipe. They are ready when tender; canned beans may be used, but fresh cooked beans are favorable. Any white beans can be used in place of the cannellini.
