Recently, I even put it on a baked potato after a follower told me that is how she likes to eat it. I was skeptical, but WOW! It was delicious!
I am always trying out new recipes on my husband and, the first time I made this, he looked at it questioningly.
After the first bite, I got the thumbs up as he spread it on his crusty bread and began to dig in happily.
Will at Potato Strong has a terrific recipe for a whole wheat baguette that goes well with this dip.
How to make this vegan bean dip
It takes about 10-minutes to soak the sun-dried tomatoes and, other than that, this dip comes together in only about 10 more minutes. Just so simple and delicious!
Place the sundried tomatoes in a heatproof bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Let soak until softened, about 10 minutes.
Drain, thinly slice, and set aside.
If using canned beans, drain and rinse thoroughly.
Combine beans, rosemary, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and sage in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If desired, add the veggie broth or water to achieve the consistency you like.
Stir in the diced sundried tomatoes. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Serve on crusty bread or baked pita chips. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will keep for 3-5 days.
