This dip is so simple but so perfect for a party, a snacky-dinner-in, or even prepping to have throughout the week. The ingredients are minimal, but the result is unexpectedly flavorful (not to mention plant-based, protein-filled, and wholesome!). It's a truly stellar dip, and pairs well with any herb oil drizzled on top. Or even some caramelized lemon if you are feeling wild.
Add the beans, preserved lemon, crushed coriander seeds, sumac, garlic cloves and oil to a food processor. Juice in 1/2 of the lemon. Process until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste and season with salt and pepper as preferred. Juice in the other half of the lemon if you like, but I find it doesn't need it.
To serve, scoop this onto a plate and leave an indent for the herb oil. Swirl the oil on top and serve the dip alongside crudités and crackers.
