Ingredients
It’s this easy
- Drain the beans but keep the liquid in a separate bowl
- Put the beans, 1 tablespoon of liquid from the can, olive oil and 2 tablespoons hot water into the blender or food processor
- Add the lemon juice and garlic and blitz until smooth. If it's a bit dry add a bit more hot water to get a nice smooth consistency
- Put in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and scatter the parsley over the top and serve with vegetable sticks or whole-grain crackers for dipping
Tweaks
- For a delicious side dish or vegan main meal spread the dip on a plate, top with a mixture of roasted vegetables and roughly chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, mint, basil or tarragon.
