White Bean Dip with Pine Nuts Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

2 tablespoons pine nuts

2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil

1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

1 cup cooked Great Northern beans

2 cloves garlic, cut in half

1 teaspoon lime juice

1 roma (plum) tomato, roughly chopped

sea salt to taste

black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Methods :

Step 1

Place the pine nuts, basil, and oregano into a food processor. Cover, and pulse 2 or 3 times to finely grind the nuts. Add beans and garlic; process until smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour in the lime juice, tomato, salt and pepper, and pulse 2 to 3 times until mixture is smooth and spreadable. With the food processor running, drizzle the oil into the dip. If mixture becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until the dip is the right consistency.

Step 2

Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight to blend the flavors before serving.
