Categories     Dip

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (15-oz) can white beans ((drained and rinsed // we like cannellini))
1/4 cup tahini
1-2 tsp lemon zest
3-4 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp sea salt
4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced ((reduce slightly if you're not a garlic lover))
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil ((if oil-free, omit))
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, loosely packed ((or sub other herbs of choice))
Pita bread or chips ((or crackers // gluten-free as needed))
Fresh or roasted veggies ((e.g. carrots, radish, cucumber, beets))

Steps:

  • To a food processor (or high-speed blender) add drained, rinsed white beans along with tahini, lemon zest and lemon juice (starting with lesser amounts of both), salt, garlic, and olive oil (reserve herbs for later).
  • Blend until creamy, scraping down sides as needed - about 1 minute. If you prefer more texture, blend for less time. If you prefer silky smooth dip, blend for longer.
  • Add chopped dill (or other herbs) and pulse again to combine.
  • Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more garlic for zing, lemon zest or juice for brightness or acidity, salt to taste, olive oil for creaminess / floral notes, dill for more herbal notes, or tahini for nuttiness. We like pretty bold flavors, so we added the additional lemon zest and juice and a pinch more salt.
  • Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate to chill, which allows the dip to thicken. Option to garnish with additional drizzle of olive oil, lemon zest, and fresh dill for serving. Serve with pita bread or chips, flatbread, crackers, or vegetables of choice.
  • Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Not freezer friendly.

LEMONY CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC AND HERBS



Lemony Cauliflower With Garlic and Herbs image

There aren't many cauliflower salads as vivacious as this one, which is zipped up with plenty of lemon, herbs, garlic and one minced jalapeño. It is best made a day or two ahead, which gives all the ingredients a chance to mingle, and the raw cauliflower time to soften and absorb all of the dressing's bright, complex flavors. Although this salad needs no other seasonings, you can add capers, sliced olives or crumbled feta here for even saltier tang. The pinch of red-pepper flakes here is optional, but especially good.

Time 15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lemon, plus more lemon juice to taste
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1 large head cauliflower (about 1 3/4 pound), trimmed and cut into bite-size florets (about 8 cups)
1 jalapeño, finely chopped
2 scallions, whites and greens thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill or basil
1/2 cup chopped parsley, leaves and tender stems
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 fat garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
2 teaspoons whole cumin or cracked coriander seeds
Large pinch of red-pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Finely grate the zest of the lemon into a large heatproof bowl, then halve the lemon and squeeze in juice. Stir in salt to dissolve it. Add cauliflower, jalapeño, scallions, dill and parsley and toss to combine. In a large skillet, heat olive oil until hot, but not smoking. Add garlic and cumin, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in red-pepper flakes.
  • Pour mixture over cauliflower and toss well. Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 48 hours to let the flavors mingle.
  • Toss well before serving, adding more salt or a squeeze of lemon to taste. For the best flavor, serve at room temperature.
