Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 ounces) canned artichoke hearts
- 1 can (15 ounces) canned white beans (cannellini or great northern beans)
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons water or aquafaba (bean liquid)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned artichoke hearts and white beans. Set aside.
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the artichoke hearts, white beans, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, olive oil, water or aquafaba, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water or aquafaba and blend again.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and, if desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley as a garnish.
Serve with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or crackers, or use as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
