Another Giada recipe.
I can't stop making this. Love it. Love it. Took about two seconds. I had two cans of white beans and used them both and lots of spinach from the organic box. When you wilt it down it nearly disappears so you almost can't have too much. For those of you with little ones, this doesn't taste like vegetables, but is loaded with them. Tell them it's "Devine Green Slime'. (it's not slimey at all)
Loving my food processor too. I guess you could use a blender but as the beans are quite flour-ey, it might be a bit more difficult. I used my Persian Lime flavored olive oil which I think helped the taste. I would maybe double the lemon juice if making it again (and without the persian lime Olive oil). Make it. Make it now!
Spinach and Cannellini Bean Dip
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (6-ounce) bags baby spinach
1 (15-ounce) can cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil, over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 of the spinach and cook for 2 minutes until wilted. Repeat with the remaining spinach. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Place the remaining olive oil, spinach mixture, cannelloni beans, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor.
Blend until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a small serving bowl. Serve with endive spears, crostini or pita chips.

i don't have a food processor... worth getting, huh? talk it up to me. I certainly should try this dip because Miss Phoebe has become a fussy little 20-month old and will only eat baked veges with gusto, and other veges if cleverly disguised. Any pieces of chunky veg, she just hands to me and says: thank you, thank you, as she passes me each piece! oh, she used to be so adventurous and easy to please!
i love it but lets wait to see what else i do with it before you buy it. do you have blender? might be a bit hard though with the beans. boy is yum though. though the cat would be a good eater. surprise surprise. this is just yum on toast too. but strap her in to her seat, pasty and messy and green might mean big messes.
am now obsessed with your dips as i loved all the ones you made. where is the divine olive one. i can't find it. did you buy a food processor, maybe i need to get one..... do you use it lots?
