Introduction

A simple, spicy spread similar to hummus, but made with creamy butter beans and a punch of flavour from homemade berbere seasoning (if you don't want extra spice kicking around, even though it is delicious on almost everything, I've included the amounts of each spice for 1 batch of dip) A simple, spicy spread similar to hummus, but made with creamy butter beans and a punch of flavour from homemade berbere seasoning (if you don't want extra spice kicking around, even though it is delicious on almost everything, I've included the amounts of each spice for 1 batch of dip)

Ingredients

    Spice Mixture:
    1 ½ tbsp paprika
    ¼ tsp ground cardamom
    ¼ tsp fenugreek
    1 tsp cayenne
    ½ tsp Kosher salt
    ¼ tsp garlic powder
    ½ tsp onion powder
    generous pinch ground ginger
    generous pinch ground coriander
    generous pinch ground cumin
    generous pinch ground black pepper
    generous pinch turmeric
    pinch ground allspice
    pinch ground nutmeg
    pinch ground cinnamon
    pinch ground cloves
    ---
    Bean Mixture:
    2 1/2 cups (1 19-oz) can cooked butter beans (large lima beans) or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
    2 tbsp fresh lime juice
    3 tbsp canola oil
    2 cloves garlic
    ¼ cup water

Directions

Combine all the spices in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind to a fine powder.
In a food processor, combine all the remaining ingredients with the spices and puree, adding water as needed until desired consistency is reached (aim for something similar to hummus, remembering it will thicken just slightly upon chilling).
Chill at least 2 hours before serving - this allows the flavours to blend and the mixture to thicken.
