I saw this recipe in
Parent's magazine the other day and thought it sounded just delicious. I'm a huge fan of bean dips. They're so creamy and flavorful (and they are usually fairly inexpensive to make). I made it for one of our college/career activites and it was delicious.
- 1 15 ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (I plan to use dried beans as they're even cheaper, follow the normal cooking instructions)
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, drained and coarsely chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
- Pita bread, cut into triangles, toasted (Triscuits are good with this, too)
Directions
- Combine beans, peppers, lemon juice, garlic, oil, cayenne, salt and black pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until smooth.
- Add the feta and oregano and pulse to just combine. Transfer the contents to a small bowl.
- Serve with toasted pita wedges. The dip can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
