Creamy Cannellini Bean Dip
There are blendable legumes other than chickpeas, you know!
Take three ingredients, take one more if you want, and then — maybe — take just one more. It’s as simple as that. These very straightforward recipes can be made with minimum effort and ingredients, but the more things you add, the better they get. The only ingredient I’m going to assume you have already is salt and pepper, everything else gets added to the total. However, feel free to use these ideas as starting points for your own experimenting based on what you have to hand.
I love dip’s unhurried opulence. Though hummus regularly pumps through my veins, there are other legumes which deserve attention, whether at party snack tables, or that time between whatever you last ate and dinner, where you might idly drag chopped vegetables, crackers and chips through something pureed. Cannellini beans, pale and mild, blend into a dip with an almost buttery intensity despite the brief dash of olive oil used. Left plain, this dip is creamy and luscious, but of course, there are numerous add-ins to consider.
