kidney bean spread

This tangy vegan kidney bean spread tastes great stuffed into a pita or spread on bread. Load it up with lots of fresh veggies for a delicious sandwich. If you’d like to serve it as a salad instead of a spread, keep the beans whole and toss the dressing with them.

Walnut and Kidney Bean Spread (Lobio)

walnuts

garlic

red wine vinegar

vegetable broth

salt (or

cayenne pepper (or

black pepper

kidney beans (rinsed and drained)

parsley

green onions

Put the walnuts and garlic in a food processor and process until finely chopped, stopping machine and scraping down sides as necessary. Add the vinegar, 2 tablespoons broth, salt, cayenne and black pepper and process until it forms a chunky paste. Add additional broth if necessary.

Add the well-drained beans to the processor and pulse about 6 to 8 times, enough to crush most of the beans but not puree them.

Scrape the mixture into a large container and stir in half of the parsley and green onions. Sprinkle the rest on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to blend. (The flavor improves with age, so if you have time, let it chill for several hours or overnight.) Check seasonings and add more vinegar, pepper, or salt to taste.

YUM!  Made it.  Love it.  This will be a regular in my lunch box!

I have come back to this recipe many times over the past years, and it is always a winner.  Healthy, easy, delicious.  People have even asked me if it was pate, and where I bought it!  A+ recipe!

Wow! This is amazing! my family and I are new at trying to choose 100% plant foods and cutting out oils in one fell swoop so the learning curve has been pretty steep.  Having been dissapointed in so many things that I have tried I had begun to doubt my ability to pick out a good recipe so, I only made half a batch of this...
That was a mistake!! Especially funny too, as my DH immediately asked if I had made a lot of it! LOL!  I baked a "legal" thinly sliced bagel  in a 300 degree oven to make us some "crackers" and we all felt very happy munching away yesterday after school! Thanks so much for your wonderful blog and all the delicious sounding recipes, especially this one, I really needed that! I am off now to find dinner for tonight! 👍

Made it today and came home and made a second batch!  DS  let me know dips/spreads are more loved than hummus.  Thanks!
