Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried white beans (e.g., cannellini or great northern)
- 4 cups Water
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, peeled
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the dried white beans under cold water and remove any debris or stones.
Add the rinsed beans, water, and garlic cloves to the pressure cooker pot.
Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and set it to high pressure for 30 minutes.
Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
Drain the cooked beans, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid for blending.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked beans, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, salt, and cumin. Blend until smooth and creamy.
If the dip is too thick, add a little of the reserved cooking liquid, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lemon juice, or cumin, if desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of paprika, if using.
Serve the white bean dip with vegetables, crackers, pita bread, or chips.
