Golden Lentil Dip

Ingredients for Golden Lentil Dip

• 475ml low-sodium vegetable stock

• 240ml dried red lentils

• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped

• 1 large stalk celery, finely chopped

• 1 large pinch saffron threads

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature

How to make Golden Lentil Dip

1. In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the stock, lentils, onion, celery, saffron, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook gently until the lentils are tender and light golden in colour, 20 to 35 minutes, depending on the lentils. (If they begin to dry out, add water as needed.) Drain, reserving any remaining liquid.

2. Transfer the lentil mixture to a food processor. Add the butter and pulse, adding the reserved liquid (or water, if you run out) 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dip has the consistency of hummus.

3. Place the dip in a bowl and let cool. Serve with pretzels, crackers, raw vegetables, or chicken tenders.
