Butterbean Dip
Ingredients
1 can of Butterbeans
1 small Garlic Clove
2 tsp Lemon Juice
3 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Chilli Powder
- Take your drained can of Butterbeans and blitz them in your choice of blender (I use a stick blender).
- Add your lemon juice, crushed garlic clove and Chilli Powder (you can leave this out and add some black pepper if you don't like Chilli).
- Slowly add your Olive Oil until it forms a smooth dip. You may need to add a little more or less to get a consistency you like.
- Serve with your choice of crudites....that's vegetable sticks for us common folk!
Suggestions - Carrot, Celery, Pepper, Tomato, Cucumber, Radish, Baby Corn, Mangetout....or have all of them and get your 5 a Day!
I like to add a pitta bread sliced into batons too and enjoy it as a healthy lunch.
This amount of dip costs under a £1 to make and once you have the ingredients ie. Olive Oil, Garlic, Chilli Powder you can use them to make lots more!
