White bean dip

                          

   For this recipe I used the extra beans that I had boiled when I prepared the White bean stew so they are already quite flavorful. If you plan to use beans from a can, I suggest adding some herbs such as oregano or rosemary.

        Ingredients

       - 2 cups boiled white beans/2 cans

       - 3 garlic cloves, mashed

       - 2-3 Tablespoons freshly pressed lemon juice

       - 1 Tablespoon parsley

       - extra virgin olive oil

       - salt and pepper

      In a food processor add the drained beans, salt, pepper, lemon juice, parsley and blend until you reach a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings. Place the dip in a bowl and add a drizzle of evoo. You could use it as a spread on freshly baked bread, in a wrap or as a dip with crudités or pita chips. Light, nutritious and ready in 5 minutes!
