Artichoke, butter bean and Biotiful kefir dip with smoked paprika oil
Middle Eastern 2 Mins Prep
- Zest the lemon. Drain and rinse the butter beans (reserve a few tablespoons of the canning liquid).
- Set aside 2 artichokes from the jar, then place the remaining artichokes in a food processor along with the drained butter beans, kefir, ground cumin, lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt. Blitz until smooth. Add a little of the reserved butter bean liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen, if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl.
- To make the smoked paprika oil, roughly chop the cashews. Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat, then stir in the smoked paprika and cashews. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Drizzle the olive oil and the smoked paprika oil over the dip.
- Thinly slice the reserved artichokes and arrange on top. Chop the parsley and scatter over the dip.
- Serve the dip along with the fresh crudités.
