Best 5 White Bean Dip With Pine Nuts Recipes

PINE NUT AND WHITE BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Set a mesh sieve over a small bowl. Heat a small saucepan over medium-low. Combine nuts and oil in pan and cook, swirling often, until nuts are golden brown, about 5 minutes (cut 1 in half to check doneness in the center). Scrape into sieve and let drain. Transfer nuts to paper towels to drain further. Finely grate garlic into oil.
• Blend beans, salt, pepper, three-fourths of nuts, and ½ cup water in a blender until very smooth. With motor running, gradually stream in garlic oil; blend until combined.
• Transfer dip to a small bowl and spoon remaining nuts over.
• Do Ahead: Dip can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Let come to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Place the pine nuts, basil, and oregano into a food processor. Cover, and pulse 2 or 3 times to finely grind the nuts. Add beans and garlic; process until smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour in the lime juice, tomato, salt and pepper, and pulse 2 to 3 times until mixture is smooth and spreadable. With the food processor running, drizzle the oil into the dip. If mixture becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until the dip is the right consistency.

ROASTED GARLIC AND WHITE BEAN DIP WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Roast the garlic: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel off most of the garlic's outermost skin but leave the whole head intact. Trim about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic to expose the cloves. Place the garlic on a large piece of aluminum foil, then drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the exposed cloves and close the foil into a pouch. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until you can pierce the center of the head with a knife. Let cool slightly.
• Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the bowl of a food processor. Add the white beans, 4 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, black pepper, cayenne (if using), hot water and salt. Purée until smooth, then taste for salt, pepper, rosemary and lemon juice. Adjust as necessary. Transfer to a serving dish.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the remaining rosemary sprig - it should sizzle. Cook until brown and crisp, flipping once, about 1 minute per side, then transfer to the top of the dip as a garnish. Pour or spoon the remaining olive oil, now infused with rosemary, over the top of the dip. Sprinkle with cayenne for a little additional heat.
