FAQ:
Q: Can I use fresh artichokes instead of canned or frozen? A: Yes, fresh artichokes can be used! You'll need to steam or boil them until tender and remove the leaves to reach the heart. Chopped fresh artichoke hearts will work perfectly in this dip.
Q: Is there a substitute for tahini? A: If you don't have tahini, you can use unsweetened almond butter or cashew butter as a substitute. It will give the dip a slightly different flavor but will still maintain its creamy texture.
Q: Can I make this dip oil-free? A: Absolutely! You can omit the olive oil, and the dip will still be creamy and delicious. The tahini and beans provide plenty of richness on their own.
Q: How can I make this dip more filling? A: To make this dip more substantial, try mixing in some cooked quinoa or finely chopped spinach for extra texture and nutrients.
Q: Can I freeze this dip? A: While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze this dip for up to a month. Just thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating or serving. Keep in mind that the texture may change slightly after freezing, but the flavor will still be great!
