White Bean Dip
This creamy bean spread is stirred until wonderfully velvety in 10 minutes with lemon, garlic, and fine olive oil. This effortlessly creates a little break.
AIIngredients
- 500 g White beans
- 3 tbsp Olives
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Tahini
- 1 clove Garlic
- 3 tbsp Water
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
Preparation
- Place the white beans in a sieve, rinse thoroughly with cold water, and drain briefly.
- Roughly chop the garlic clove and add it to a tall container along with the beans, lemon juice, and tahini.
- Add the sea salt and pepper and briefly blend everything on medium speed with an immersion blender.
- Slowly pour in the olive oil and cold water while blending continuously until a completely smooth mixture forms.
- Taste the spread, season with a little more salt or lemon juice if needed, and smooth into a shallow bowl.
- Warm sourdough bread, toasted baguette slices, or crunchy vegetable sticks made from carrots and cucumbers pair wonderfully with it.
How it tastes
The white beans form a wonderfully smooth base. Thanks to their soft texture, the dish turns out velvety entirely without dairy products, while fresh lemon juice provides a pleasant acidity and the finest olive oil binds all the flavors into a silky emulsion. Garlic adds depth.
