Ingredients

  • 1 can 15.5 oz, 440 g white beans, drained
  • 4 tablespoon tahini
  • ¼ cup 60 ml water
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste
  • Sea salt to taste opt

Instructions

  • Chop the onion and chop the garlic. Fry the onion and garlic in a little water in a pan until they caramelize. 
  • Add a little sip of water again. If you notice that the pan is browning, add a sip of water. So the onions turn nice and brown.
  • In the meantime, mix the tahini with the water until creamy. I use a high speed blender for this.
  • Now add the drained white beans and blend until you get a super creamy consistency.
  • Add the remaining ingredients except for the onions and blend again until everything is mixed together.
  • If the dip is creamy enough for you, add the onions to the cream and blend on a light setting only briefly so that the onions are mixed in the cream, but you still have pieces.
  • Taste the dip and season to taste. Place the dip in a sealable container and put it in the fridge until ready to serve.
