White Bean Dip

To make a quick WHITE BEAN DIP, in a food processor or blender mix up one fifteen ounce can of white beans (I used Cannelini), one peeled garlic clove, the juice of one lemon, a couple of sprigs of fresh parsley and basil, two Tablespoons of miso (one of the lighter ones), one Tablespoon of olive oil and one quarter to one half a teaspoon of garam masala. Garam masala is an Indian spice mix which can be made at home to your own tastes, or purchased already ground up. If you don't have it, add some chili powder or make up some other flavor of spices you do have, within reason. Maybe some olives, for instance. Use tamari soy sauce if you don't have miso, adding about one Tablespoon. Serve with tortilla chips, cut up vegetables or toasted bread.
