Artichoke & White Bean Dip

Artichoke & White Bean Dip

This artichoke & white bean dip is a simple way to enjoy artichokes when you don’t want to go to all the fuss of trimming, removing leaves and scraping out chokes. Use good quality bottled artichokes, preferably stored in oil or acidulated water, not vinegar as that makes the taste too acidic; I use Colavita brand. The nett weight shown on the container will include the oil or water, so the actual weight of the artichokes will be about 50-70% of that. This dip makes a good addition to an antipasto platter, or is great served on its own with aperitivi (for me that means a negroni sbagliato or Aperol spritz – see Top 5 Prosecco Cocktails for the recipes).

Serves 10 as part of an antipasto

Ingredients
  • 400g drained preserved artichokes
  • 400g canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons salt flakes
  • 160ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Croûtons, for serving
  • Olives, for serving
Method
  1. Process artichokes, beans, lemon juice, garlic and salt in a food processor until well blended.
  2. With the motor running gradually add oil and process until smooth.
  3. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if necessary.
  4. Stir through parsley.
  5. Serve dip with croutons and olives on the side.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken – once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better ordering this than going out to restaurants as the recipes and food quality are amazing.

The whole Be Inspired experience has helped me love cooking again. I was sick of cooking the same old things - meal time is a lot brighter thanks to you Roberta.

I loved the Fresh & Easy Chicken – simple instructions, only a few ingredients and the time factor absolutely spot on. Then came the highlight, the taste, no compromise on the enjoyment of that meal! For the time poor Fresh & Easy hits the mark indeed.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic ingredients and quality produce ... I’ve so enjoyed picking fresh leaves from the herb pots and loved listening to the chef's playlist while cooking. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to.

I am absolutely loving these boxes! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for the Fresh & Easy Meal, it was excellent. We regularly get another meal kit delivery – your offering is vastly superior and a similar price, so big ticks.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from the Recipes+Videos Packs. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
