Ingredients
- 1 x 14oz tin White beans (butter beans or cannellini work well) reserve the liquid from the tin
- 12 (approx 90g) Sundried tomatoes (packed in oil but drained)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or oil from the tomatoes)
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 1 small clove garlic
- 2 tbsp Tomato puree
- ¼ tsp Salt
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Put aside 2 tomatoes and ⅓ of the beans
- Pile all remaining ingredients into a food processor, along with 2 tablespoon liquid from the bean can and some black pepper - try 8 grinds
- Blend until relatively smooth. Taste - add more pepper if desired
- If the dip is too thick for your liking add an extra tablespoon of canning liquid and ½ tablespoon of oil and blend again
- Add remaining tomatoes and beans to the processor. Pulse until desired consistency is reached - I like my dips a little course and chunky, but it's fine to blend into a smooth dip if preferred
- Store in a covered pot in the fridge until required. Keeps for up to 5 days
Notes
If you'd like to give your dip a little chilli heat add a little chilli infused oil - mix in a few drops at a time and taste. Keep on adding more oil until it's spicy enough for your taste preference.
