So, flatbread felt like cheating.
Cannellini and mint dip was all new though. And given that Bethan loved it and asked for the recipe, here it is:
3oz dried cannellini beans
1/2 clove garlic
1/2 bunch chopped spring onions
1/2 handful of fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon of tahini
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt & pepper
Soak the cannellini beans in cold water over night. Then drain and rinse and put in a heavy-based saucepan covered in cold water. Bring slowly to the boil, then allow to boil rapidly for 10 minutes before reducing the heat, covering and leaving to cook for 1 1/2-2 hours until the beans are tender.
Drain the beans and put into a food processor with all the other ingredients - or mash it all up together with a potato masher - blend, but don't over process as its nice to have a bit of texture to the dip.
Transfer to a bowl and cover. allow to cool for at least an hour at room temperature before serving.
