This is a wonderful addition to the chip and vegie dips out there. For a slightly more Mediterranean version, substitute dried thyme for cumin and chopped basil for cilantro. Gently heat the dip to warm it, then mix in a few ounces of crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese and serve with pita wedges. Prep time does not include 1st soak

2 cup (change servings and units)

This is really very good! The only thing I'd change would be the amount of garlic as it was too much for me .. it is also good on turkey sandwiches!! thanks

    Call me lazy, I used canned white beans. Cut the spices back a bit to appease my tender toungued guests but the results were still very good. Also cut the oil to 2 tablespoons to keep it light. Next time I will try the thyme instead of cumin variation.

    Great stuff! I was making baked beans and had some left over after I finished boiling them, so I made this dip with the extra. It was really easy to make and very tasty. I liked the fact it was a little bit spicy.
