Ingredients

  • 1 (14 ounce) can cannellini beans drained & rinsed (See Note 1)
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (See Note 2)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (See Note 3)
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the beans, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, water, lemon juice, garlic, salt and cayenne pepper. Pulse until almost smooth.
  2. Add the thyme. Pulse 4 to 5 times, to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl.
  3. Serve with crackers, pita wedges and raw vegetables.

Notes

  • Note 1: Substitute with navy beans, white kidney beans or Great Northern beans. If using beans you cooked (rather than canned), use about 1 ⅔ cups cooked beans.
  • Note 2: For a vegetarian dip, use Parmesan cheese made with vegetable rennet rather than animal rennet.
  • Note 3: If you're sensitive to spice, feel free to omit the cayenne pepper.
