Description

This light and creamy dip is perfect for summer noshing. Full of flavour, thanks to the feta, you can add whatever fresh herbs you like, though dill, chives and mint are surefire winners. This dip is nutritious and delicious, and it’s best served with crostini (or crackers) and fresh, seasonal vegetables. Can be packed along on a picnic or camping trip, too.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (540 mL/19 oz) can white kidney beans or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 200 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 Tbsp roughly chopped herbs such as dill, chives, mint or all three
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine all of the ingredients. Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl from time to time. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Scrape into a shallow bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Garnish with fresh herbs, if you like. Will keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Rajma Dal

Most people think that Indian food uses mainly chickpeas and a ton of lentil varieties, but this Northern Indian dal uses red kidney beans simmered with tomato, onion and spices. Its quite hot, due to the Kashmiri red chili powder and tastes even better the next day. This is my quick, weeknight version using canned red kidney beans with a couple of shortcuts in method but no shortcuts in flavour.
