Creamy Butter Bean Dip

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 10
• 410 g butter beans, drained
• 1 garlic clove
• 10 ml tahini
• 30 ml greek yogurt
• 30 ml fresh lemon juice
• 30 ml olive oil
• 5 ml cumin powder
• seasoning

Recipe

• 1 put all the ingredients into your blender and puree until smooth. the finished result is smooth and creamy and, like this, is ideal as a dip. once put in the fridge for a couple of hours it becomes a bit 'firmer' and is better for spreading (i also think it tastes better). the butter beans can be substituted for chick peas but i find the texture is creamer when using the butter beans. i always double up on this as it freezes very well with virtually no loss of flavor. served as a dip it looks nice drizzled with good quality olive oil and sprinkled with cayenne pepper and a little parsley.
