Ingredients
Scale
- 1 14-ounce can artichokes, packed in water
- 1 (15-ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained
- ½ lemon, (about 1 tablespoon) and zest (about 1 teaspoon)
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ (16-ounce) jar roasted red peppers
- ¼ medium red onion, finely diced
- ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Drain artichokes thoroughly through a colander, and reserve liquid. Chop artichokes into small pieces. Add to a medium mixing bowl.
- Place rinsed, thoroughly drained white beans in a food processor container. Add lemon juice, zest, garlic, nutritional yeast, and black pepper. Blend while adding olive oil and if needed, reserved artichoke liquid, to make a very thick texture (it will loosen the texture when other ingredients are added, so make sure to add only enough liquid to make a thick texture). May stop to scrape down sides if needed. Transfer the white bean mixture to the mixing bowl with artichokes.
- Drain the roasted red peppers thoroughly through a colander. Chop roasted red peppers into small pieces. Add to the mixing bowl.
- Add red onion and basil to the mixing bowl. Gently mix. Season with black pepper and salt as desired.
- Serve immediately or chill with crackers or vegetables as an appetizer or dip. Makes 10 servings (about 1/3 cup each).
