Beans are very nutritious and full of protein so we should eat them more often, as vegan meals are becoming more and more recommended by nutritionists. We should go easy on our bodies, having 1-2 vegan days over the week. That being said…

What do we need to make this vegan white bean dip?

 

🧄 Ingredients For This Vegan White Bean Dip

ingredients for white bean dip recipe
  • Homemade boiled white beans packed with veggie flavor
  • Yellow onions and garlic. More onions, better the taste.
  • Good quality tomato paste – best that you can find.
  • Fresh herbs for serving – dill and parsley.
  • Cooking oil – any neutral flavor, I used sunflower oil.

 

🍅 How To Make This Vegan White Bean Spread

Let’s start making this white dip recipe. It is easy to make, once you’ve cooked your beans.

1. Flavor with garlic

Take your cooked beans from the cooking pot (click here to see how I made it) and put them in a food processor or a powerful blender. Use a little liquid to obtain the consistency you see here.

Next, add in some crushed garlic cloves to flavor the dip. You can use as much as you like from 2 cloves to 10. I recommend to go full flavor, it’s healthy. I eat lots of garlic on a regular basis.

If you have a food processor blend it all there. If you’re using a blender like me, put the beans paste into a bawl and add the crushed garlic, 4-5 tbsp sunflower oil and mix it well with a wooden spoon.

Taste for saltiness if by any chance it needs more.

2. Make the topping

Now we’ll start making the topping. Finely chop the onions and put them in a skillet or frying pan with 6-7 tbsp cooking oil. Saute the onions on medium low heat, stirring continuously until gets a beautiful golden color.

It will take some 15-20 minutes. Patience is a virtue! 🙂

Now, when it’s beautifully golden add the tomato paste. 4-5 teaspoons, go with personal taste here. Stir in and let them cook together for another 5-7 minutes so the onions and the oil takes in the beautiful tomato color and taste.

Turn off the heat and pour the sauce over the bean paste and spread it evenly until is covering all the surface. That’s it. Decorate with fresh dill and black pepper and start digging in!

Color it up with slices of red bell pepper or ripe tomatoes, or pitted black olives for a plus.
