Flageolet & garlic dip

2 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
175 grams Canned flageolets
2 teaspoons Ground cumin
2 teaspoons Coriander
2 teaspoons Turmeric
1 large Garlic clove; crushed
½ Lemon; juiced
3 tablespoons Olive oil or slightly more
Salt

Directions

The soft green colour of flageolets is highlighted by turmeric, and the rest of the spicing gives this dip a vaguely oriental feeling. It is rich, nourishing food best served with crudit‚s and bread-sticks or pitta bread.

Put the flageolets, spices, garlic and lemon juice into the blender and whizz to a thick pur‚e with some of the juices from the can.

Gradually stir the oil into the mixture to thin out to a dipping consistency. Season to taste.
