🌀 How to Make It
1️⃣ Blend to Perfection
🥣 In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine:
✔️ White beans (rinsed & drained)
✔️ Garlic cloves
✔️ Artichoke hearts (dried & drained)
✔️ Tahini paste
✔️ Salt, black pepper, and two-thirds of the lemon zest
2️⃣ Add Liquid & Blend Until Creamy
🫒 Pour in 1 tbsp olive oil + 3 tbsp of artichoke marinade liquid (from the jar).
🌀 Blend until super smooth & fluffy – this can take up to 15 seconds in a food processor. If the dip is too thick, add a little more marinade (1 tbsp at a time) for a silkier texture.
👅 Taste & Adjust: Add more salt, lemon zest, or lemon juice as needed!
3️⃣ Serve & Garnish
🍽️ Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
🥄 Use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center.
🫒 Drizzle in some olive oil & sprinkle red chili flakes + remaining lemon zest on top.
🌿 Serve with:
🥖 Crusty bread
🥕 Fresh veggie sticks
🍞 Warm pita or crackers
