SNACK – White Bean Dip

This white bean dip is a great way of using up leftover beans in the fridge. A good source of protein, bean dips are great to have as snacks when accompanied with crackers or even vegetable sticks.

Ingredients:

Olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, a pinch of sage, pinch of rosemary, left-over cannellini beans (or any canned white bean), salt and pepper to taste.

Method:

• Fry the chopped garlic in a little oil, and add the sage and rosemary. Cook for approximately 1 minute, then add the beans and toss thoroughly.

• Transfer the beans into a food processor, add a little water and season with salt and pepper. Process into a fairly smooth mixture.

• Transfer the dip into a small serving bowl (or container) and drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil.

• Serve with crackers for a tasty snack!
