Weekend Cooking: New Year's Dip Quartet

One day early for Weekend Cooking but my great blogging friends Chinoiseries, Graasland and JannyAn are joining me in a blog special about dips. Because what is New Year's without a good dip? Of course you can run to the store to buy a quick dip, but making your own is much tastier, healthier and really easy! It is done in less than 5 minutes! If you have a large enough kitchen machine, that is ;) I had to make mine in two batches because the kitchen machine turned out to be too small ;) But it can easily made in advance :)

Bean Pate (Makes about 2 small jars)
- 425 gr canned white beans
- 130 gr cream cheese (if vegan use Tofutti Cream Cheese)
- 1 clove of garlic,
- 1 spring onion
- 3 tbsp pesto (I had red pesto in this case)

Add  the garlic and the spring onion to the kitchen machine and chop them finely. Rinse the white beans and drain them. Add them to the kitchen machine together with the pesto and cream cheese and purée everything together. If you have a small kitchen machine like me, then you can just do it in batches and stir them together later in a bowl so all ingredients are evenly mixed.

Great as a spread on Turkish bread, Bagels or to dip vegetables in!
