Garbanzo Bean Dip

Based on a simple red lentil spread from The McDougall Quick & Easy Cookbook (by John & Mary McDougall), I changed it up a bit with garbanzo beans and poked around the refrigerator looking for good things to add – like cilantro, fresh ginger, red onion and garlic.  Serve as a dip with fresh vegetables, baked chips or warm, whole wheat pita – or use as a sandwich spread loading on cucumber slices, greens, sprouts and juicy tomatoes.

Curried Garbanzo Bean Dip/Sandwich Spread

2 15 oz. cans garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1/4+ vegetable broth
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. curry powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. coriander powder
pinch kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1″ piece fresh ginger, minced or grated with a microplaner
2-3 slices red onion
large handful of fresh cilantro

Whirl everything together in a food processor, scraping down the sides a few times, until it’s the consistency that you like.  Add more vegetable broth (or water) if it seems too thick.
