Recipe - Bean There Dunked That

1 cn (15 oz.) white kidney beans
(canellini); drained and
rinsed
One fourth cup Lowfat sour cream*; (I'll
substitute nonfat)
3 tablespoon Lemon juice
1 Cloves garlic; minced, (up
to 2)
1 tablespoon Tahini*; (omit)
One half teaspoon Honey*; (omit if you are
vegan)
One fourth teaspoon Each ground coriander; salt
and black pepper
Wedges of pita

In our local newspaper there was a piece about a new cookbook,
*Looneyspoons* by Janet and Greta Podleski. Low fat, but really not low
enough for this group, at least in the recipes they shared, but could be
easily adapted I think. Also there are meat based recipes in the book. The
following is something I'm going to try, adjusting for fatfree.

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until
smooth. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with pita. Makes 1
One half cups.

Comments from the authors: *This recipe is a creamy, garlicky dip made of
lean beans that is similar to hummus, but lower in fat. and make it once
and everyone will be begging you to make it again, it is a recipe that
really gets around.*

I believe this is acceptable for this list with the adaptions *starred and
it is a bit different from other bean dips I've seen on this list,
especially the coriander.
