CREAMY DIP BASE

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, sour cream and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and stir until combined and smooth. If necessary, thin out the dip by whisking in more sour cream or adding milk, a tablespoon at a time. Fold in the mix-in ingredients of your choice, to taste and chill before serving.

CREAMY ESCAROLE AND WHITE BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large high-sided saute pan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook until just starting to soften, about 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium; add the escarole and cook until just wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the white wine, 1/2 cup water, the cannellini beans (with the liquid from the can) and a large pinch of salt. Bring to a strong boil over medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rosemary and cook until there is only a light coating of liquid at the bottom of the pan, about 5 more minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool at least 15 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed (the mixture should look similar to the texture of spinach dip). Spoon into a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
• Before serving, season the dip with lemon juice and more salt to taste. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve with crackers and/or crudites.

CREAMY WHITE BEAN DIP

CREAMY BUTTER BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into your blender and puree until smooth. The finished result is smooth and creamy and, like this, is ideal as a dip. Once put in the fridge for a couple of hours it becomes a bit 'firmer' and is better for spreading (I also think it tastes better). The butter beans can be substituted for chick peas but I find the texture is creamer when using the butter beans. I always double up on this as it freezes very well with virtually no loss of flavor. Served as a dip it looks nice drizzled with good quality olive oil and sprinkled with cayenne pepper and a little parsley.
