Directions
White Bean Dip for a Crowd (Moosewood Inspired ), I hosted a party for 60+ people recently and made this dip to go with veggies, pita chips, crackers and so on This is from Moosewood’s ‘Cooks for a Crowd’ book It’s similar to hummus in texture, but lighter and without the tahini flavour It was simple enough to prepare and I made it a few days in advance The recipe says it makes enough for 24 – OH MY, 120 more like it! 🙂 How much you would go through would greatly depend on how many other dips and appie type things you have After our party we still had half of the dip leftover And that’s not because it wasn’t popular, it just makes a lot!! It’s actually very tasty, easy on the pocket book and I love that you can prepare it in advance Next time I may cut the recipe in 1/2 Note, prep time does not include soaking the dry beans overnight , I really enjoyed this dip! I reved it alongside roasted pumpkin and millet Yummy! Since I was only cooking for three I scaled this down quite a bit And as I unfortunately was out of white beans used chickpeas instead That worked well I needed to adjust the spices a bit but I guess thats just personal preference THANKS A LOT for sharing this recipe with us, magpie!Made and reviewed for my chosen chef during Veggie Swap #51 October 2012 , I really enjoyed this dip!
