Number Of Ingredients 13

One 15 1/2-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
One 8-ounce container plain fat-free yogurt
1 tomato, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
8 rounds 6-inch pita bread

Steps:

  • Place half the chickpeas and half the cannelloni beans in the bowl of a food processor along with garlic and yogurt. Puree until smooth. Add remaining beans, and pulse until coarsely chopped.
  • Set aside 2 tablespoons tomato for garnish. Transfer mixture to a bowl; stir in remaining tomato, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, combine remaining teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, thyme, and parsley.

Tips:

  • Use dried beans: Dried beans are more flavorful than canned beans, and they're also more affordable. If you don't have time to pre-soak the beans, you can use canned beans instead. However, be sure to rinse them thoroughly before using them.
  • Don't overcook the beans: The beans should be cooked until they are just tender. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't just stick to one type of bean. Use a combination of different beans, such as black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans, to add flavor and texture to your dip.
  • Add your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for chunky bean dip. Some popular choices include cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and chopped cilantro.
  • Serve immediately: Chunky bean dip is best served immediately. However, you can also make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chunky bean dip is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, a snack, or a main course. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give chunky bean dip a try!
