Simple and Tasty Dips in Less Than 5 Minutes
A food processor is all you need to recreate any dip imaginable, whether it be textured, creamy, spicy, cheesy, nutty, or sweet. So whether you're looking to save money, add more flavor to your humdrum dips, or are feeling adventurous, you should give making your own dips a try—it can literally take less than 5 minutes, regardless of what you're makingHere are a few of our favourites
Hummus
Hummus is a Middle Eastern chickpea-based dip with a creamy texture and a bright, nutty taste that is to die for. Chickpeas will pair well with just about any roasted vegetable purée or spice including garlic, roasted red pepper, and sun dried tomato.
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoon yogurt
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon paprika/red pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Process all except except the oil;
Add enough oil to make a thick paste.
Serve drizzled with warm Olive oil & sprinkled paprika. (Sweet Smked or Hot depending on your taste)
Baba Ganoush
Baba ghanoush or Eggplant dip, is a Levantine dip that can be made at home in a food processor with just an eggplant, olive oil, and a few spices. We love to create a smoky flavourd eggplant dip which is made by charring the skin of an eggplant over a gas burner, before processing for an earthy, full-bodied flavor.
1 medium sized onion
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon parsley, chopped
2 tablespoon tahini
Process all ingredients to a chunky paste.
Harissa
Try this to spice up your day. Prepared from hot chilli peppers, to give extra flavour try adding ingredients like lemon juice, coriander seed and cumin seed. Here is how we make it at home.
2 sun-dried tomatoes roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tablespoon coriander seed
1/4 Cup fresh mint, chopped
1/2 Cup fresh coriander, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Cup olive oil
