Bean spread
Ingredients
- 255 g drained weight of white beans from the jar or cooked
- 20 g carrots
- 20 g celery stick (approx. 1 stick)
- 1 clove of garlic (alternatively ¼ teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 tsp cashew butter
- 3 tsp of oat drink
- 2 tsp of lemon juice
- ½ tsp mustard
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Drain the beans and rinse with water before placing them in a bowl.
- Peel the carrot and grate it finely. Finely grate the celery stalk as well. The shell does not have to be removed beforehand.
- Now add the finely grated carrot and the also grated celery stalk to the beans. As a result, the celery blends in perfectly with the spread and is not perceived as intensely.
- Peel the garlic clove and dice it finely or press it through the garlic press. Also add to the bowl.
- Now add cashew butter, oat drink (or another unsweetened plant-based drink), as well as lemon juice and mustard.
- All ingredients are now mixed in the bowl and the beans are mashed with a fork. This gives the spread a creamy consistency and the flavors of the ingredients combine well with each other.
- Finally, season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
- Depending on the desired consistency, a little more plant-based drink can also be added.
