Dreambean Dip

Post: # 71350Post Trinity »

We came up with this tasty dip yesterday. It got a big thumbs up, so I thought I'd share.

Haricot beans create an instant thick creamy effect when blended. The best thing of all is that we grew haricot beans in our garden this year! They are excellent high quality protein as well as being a great source for other nutrients including iron, magnesium, potassium and manganese.

Dreambean dip

Image
12 heaped table spoons cooked haricot beans
7 table spoons sunflower oil
8 table spoons spring water
3 table spoons apple cider vinegar
1 tsp ground coriander
1 heaped table spoon finely chopped herbs (lemon thyme/basil/parsely)
1 tsp mustard powder
1 level tsp celtic sea salt
1 clove garlic (finely chopped)


Place all ingredients together in a blender (except herbs).

Blend until creamy. Adjust the water accordingly if you over/under estimate the amount of liquid required. If the mixture is too running then add a few more haricot beans. If the mixture is too thick then add a little more water (careful not to over do it!).

Add herbs and blend for a few more seconds to enjoy speckles of greenery.

Serves well with oatcakes and
