Curried White Bean Dip Recipes

Steps:

• For the beans: Put the beans in a bowl and cover with cold water by 3 inches above the top of the beans. Let soak overnight.
• Strain the beans, discarding the soaking liquid. Place them in a pot and cover with water by 3 inches above the top of the beans. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and let cook until the beans are tender, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Strain and let cool.
• For the dip: Bring 1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a boil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and a pinch of salt and simmer until the water reduces down and the onions become translucent and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the beans and heat until they become warm.
• Meanwhile, add the Worcestershire, vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, hot sauce, 4 tablespoons olive oil and some salt to a food processor. Transfer the bean mixture to the food processor. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and another pinch of salt. Puree the beans until smooth. Add more oil if needed for taste or texture. Taste for seasoning. Serve with vegetables or crackers.

Steps:

• To a food processor, add the cannellini beans, avocados, lemon juice and salt. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the basil and pulse to incorporate. Serve alongside cut vegetables and toasted bread.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the beans, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, curry powder, cumin, salt, cayenne pepper, garlic and lemon zest. Blend until smooth. Season with salt. Pour the dip into a serving bowl and serve with Whole Wheat Pita Chips alongside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut each pita bread into 8 wedges. Arrange on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and bake until crisp and golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
