White Bean, Basil, Sun-dried Tomatoes and Turmeric Spread
You know we like our spreads and dips, especially classic Italian ones. These days, on the #NaturopathPrescribedDiet I serve them on rice crackers. The Pure Harvest ones with quinoa are one of my favourites. We keep the cupboard well stocked with a variety of them.
This spread is a simple recipe that purees beans seasoned with olive oil, garlic, turmeric, lemon juice and fresh basil, and can be made mostly out of cupboard ingredients.
It is divine in flavour and texture, with a multitude of uses. We made it a lot during Covid lockdowns when it was difficult to get fresh ingredients. So we substituted a lot. Parsley for basil, or coriander, or chives. I have even used rocket and baby spinach. Or simply left the basil out. It is so versatile.
We often add sun-dried tomatoes and fennel seeds - it is a fabulous idea that came out of #Moosewood by #MollyKatzen – we've adopted this combo and use it in all sorts of things now.
