You can make this from fresh or frozen beans. Just make sure you hull them to help keep the colour greenish. Serve as a dip with slices of pita bread as you would hummus.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium-large white fleshed onion, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 c

Method

Sauté onion in half the oil until softened and barely golden. Add garlic and cook until soft. Leave to cool. Place beans in a food processor with parsley, add cooled onion mixture and whizz to a paste. Add yoghurt, lemon juice and remaining oil and whizz again. Season to taste.
