Emilie Raffa's Spicy White Bean Arugula Dip

Author - Gena Hamshaw
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yields: 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 11 ⁄2 cups 375 g cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 small handful of baby arugula
  • 1 ⁄4 cup 60 ml olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 ⁄2 garlic clove chopped
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Zest of 1 lemon juice reserved
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the beans, arugula, olive oil, garlic, red pepper, zest, and juice of half the lemon to a blender. Season generously with salt and pepper. Pulse a few times to combine. The texture should be creamy and rustic. Taste the dip and adjust with more lemon juice or salt and pepper if needed.
  • Transfer the dip to a small bowl and drizzle with extra olive oil and red pepper flakes. Arrange your sourdough slices on the side, to serve for dipping.

Notes

You can also use fresh parsley or cilantro leaves in place of the arugula.
