This bold and creamy Harissa White Bean Dip is made with only 5 pantry-staple ingredients. Packed with flavor, this dip is ready in 10 minutes and is perfect for entertaining or healthy snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 teaspoons harissa powder
- 1 15.5-ounce can Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 tablespoons La Tourangelle olive oil divided
- Salt and pepper to taste
- OPTIONAL: red pepper flakes olive oil, parsley to garnish with
Instructions
- Peel and chop the onion and garlic.
- Drain the liquid out of the canned beans. Empty the beans into a colander and rinse them well under running water.
- Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over a stove set to medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and garlic. Cook for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden. This step adds so much flavor to this dip.
- Transfer the cooked onion and garlic to a food processor or blender. Also add the harissa, drained and rinsed beans, and the remaining olive oil and blend/process until smooth. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a tablespoon of water and blend again until you reach your desired texture.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
- Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and garnish with chili flakes and chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- Sautéing the onion and garlic creates a richer flavor than using them raw.
- Adjust the amount (or brand) of harissa depending on your preferred spice level.
- For extra brightness, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or lime juice before blending.
- This dip can be enjoyed as soon as it is made or refrigerated until needed.
