White Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Dip image

Very quick and easy dip that is great for any party or tailgate. I like to dip pita chips or veggies in this awesome dip! Enjoy...Go Dolphins!

Provided by Ashly1021

Categories     Beans

Time 5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (15 ounce) can cannellini, beans-drained and rinsed
1/2 cup chopped roasted red pepper (if canned make sure to pat them dry)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (can replace with 3/4 tsp cumin for a different variation)
1/4 teaspoon paprika (i used smoked for a little added zing)
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (can use less if not a big fan of spicy)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Place the drained beans, red peppers, salt, basil (or cumin), paprika, garlic cloves, olive oil, and vinegar in a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
  • Serve as is or refrigerate until later. Will keep perfectly at on outdoor party/tailgate!

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Use dry beans instead of canned beans for a more flavorful dip. If using canned beans, rinse and drain them thoroughly before using.
  • Soak your beans: Soaking your beans overnight or for at least 8 hours will help to soften them and reduce cooking time. You can also skip this step if you are using canned beans.
  • Cook your beans until tender: Beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked beans will become mushy and ruin the texture of your dip.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your dip the best flavor. If you can't find fresh ingredients, use frozen or dried ingredients instead.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless ways to make bean dip. Get creative and try different combinations of beans, vegetables, herbs, and spices until you find a dip that you love.

Conclusion:

Bean dip is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or main course. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans. With so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a bean dip that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give bean dip a try.
