Smoky White Bean and Harissa Dip
Super-easy dip that's full of spice and flavor!
Ingredients
- 1 15.5-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed well and drained
- 2 tablespoons harissa paste, my favorite here
- 1 1/2 tablespoons excellent-quality lemon-infused oil, see Notes
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, hot or mild
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic, or grated on a zester
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh or bottled
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon toasted cumin seeds, optional
- Naan bread, for serving
- Multigrain crackers, for serving (or other cracker)
Instructions
- Place the first 9 ingredients (beans through lemon juice) in a food processor and pulse until blended well and smooth, no lumps of beans left. Stop the machine and scrape as needed.
- Add more oil if necessary. Taste for seasoning and add as desired.
- Scrape all the dip into a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the cilantro, parsley, and cumin seeds (if using). Feel free to drizzle with any extra oil, if desired.
- Serve with bread or crackers. (Can be served at room temperature or chilled.)
- Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 5 days.
