White Bean ( Cannellini Bean) Dip

The white bean dip has become an all time favourite in our home. This dip is similar to the Hummus, but the texture of the white bean makes it really tasty. A great way to include proteins in your diet.


Ingredients:

1 can White Bean ( or soak a handful of white bean in water overnight)
2 garlic pods
1/4 Teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 Teaspoon lemon juice
Salt to taste.



Method:

1)If using soaked beans, then pressure cook the soaked beans with water for 3 whistles. Remove the water and use the beans. If using canned beans, wash the beans to remove excess salt and then use.

2) Place all the ingredients ( except salt and lime juice) in a mixer jar and grind till smooth.

3) Now add salt and lime juice to this dip.

4) Transfer to a bowl and drizzle olive oil on top before serving.



5) Serve chilled or at room temperature with toasts or nachos or even crudites.
