Anytime I find an interesting dip/spread recipe, I flag it. I just so happened to find an interesting spread recipe of Artichoke and White Bean for the February Secret Recipe Club on a blog about Sustainable Cooking for One, http://groundcherry.wordpress.com. She blogs about cooking a mostly gluten free diet for one. A great concept because sometimes you really only need a meal for one. This spread is flavorful, filing and so good on flax crackers or veggies!
Artichoke White Bean Spread
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: None!
Serves: 6-8, or 1 with leftovers for the week
Ingredients (including my changes)
1 15.5 ounce can artichokes
1 15.5 oz can cannelini beans
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp thyme
Directions
Drain beans and rinse.
Drain artichokes, reserving a few tablespoons of the liquid.
Place beans and artichokes in a food processor and puree until smooth. Add the olive oil, thyme, and pulse until combined. Add in 1-3 tablespoons of reserved artichoke liquid until you have the desired consistency.
