This dip is great warm on Turkish bread as an appetiser. It travels well for picnics and is good on toast for lazy late weekend breakfasts.
This dip serves 4 and takes about 10 minutes to prepare if you have roast garlic in the fridge. (Otherwise it takes an hour and ten minutes.)
Ingredients
- 2 x 410 g tins of cannellini beans, organic if you can get them
- 2 tblsp roast garlic
- a handful of flat leaf parsley, chopped into strips

- 1 clove chopped garlic
- a little olive oil for frying
- a half tspn brown sugar
- a slurp of tamari
- olive oil to serve

How it's done
- Prepare the beans: Drain and rinse the beans. Place them in a microwave-safe dish and heat them on high for around 45 seconds. Add roast garlic, lime juice and parsley.
- Prepare the Brussels sprout: Fry the sliced Brussels sprouts quickly in olive oil with the chopped chopped garlic, brown sugar and a slurp of tamari. Put the Brussels sprouts mix in the bowl with the beans.
- Put it together: Using a potato masher, mash the bean mix together.
- Serve it: Toast or warm up the Turkish bread to serve, then pour some good quality olive oil over the bean dip.
