White bean dip with sesame


I don't know about you, but I love beans, white beans, fava beans, chickpeas.... Open my pantry and you’ll see all kinds of beans. They’re just so useful and healthy, they're good in soups, tossed in salads or processed into delicious dips. There's no doubt that fresh dips are extremely versatile, I like to serve them with an assortment of fresh veggies as well as toasted baguette; I think they make a great appetizer for everyone to munch on. This dip is a departure from hummus. It’s got such a smooth creamy texture and the lemon and garlic add great flavor. It’s pretty easy to whip up using mostly items you have on hand. Everyone will love it, so make some extra, it will keep refrigerated for 3 days. Enjoy!!

Ingredients: 
1 (15oz) (425g) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed 
1 clove garlic 
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice 
1 tbsp olive oil 
salt 
water (or cooking water) 
1 tbsp sesame oil for serving 
1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

In a food processor, puree the white beans, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Add water a couple of tablespoons at a time, until the dip is as thick or thin as you like (I used about 2 tbsp). Taste to check for seasoning, and adjust as necessary. Transfer the bean puree to a bowl, add 1 tbsp olive oil and mix with a spoon. Store in the fridge, and when you want to serve drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with sesame seeds.


Dip aux haricots blans et au sésame
Ingrédients: 
1 boîte de 425 g d'haricots blancs égouttés et rincés 
1 gousse d'ail 
2 càs de jus de citron 
1 càs d'huile d'olive 
sel 
eau (ou eau de cuisson) 
1 càs d'huile de sésame 
1 càs de graines de sésame, toastées

Mettez les haricots blancs, l'ail, le jus de citron et le sel dans le bol du mixeur et mixez le tout. Ajoutez de l'eau quelques cuillères à la fois, jusqu'à obtenir la consistence idéale (j'ai mis environ 2 c. à soupe). Réctifiez l'assaisonnement, si nécessaire. Transférez le dip dans un bol, ajoutez 1 c. à soupe d'huile d'olive et mélangez. Réservez au frais. Au moment de servir, arrosez le dip avec l'huile de sésame et parsemez de graines de sésame.

  22. What a gorgeous photo of the dip! I am going to try this because I always have sesame oil in the fridge, but never have tahini, so this is ideal. And I love cannellini beans. I love coming here--you always seem to have exactly what I'm looking for!
