Garlic & White Bean «Alioli» Spread
Method
Prep Aromatics: Briefly roast the unpeeled garlic cloves in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 5 minutes until softened, then squeeze the warm paste out of their skins.
Combine Base: Place the drained haricot beans, roasted garlic paste, fat-free Greek yogurt, unflavoured pea protein powder, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard into a high-speed food processor.
Emulsify Dip: Pulse the mixture until combined, then slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while the motor runs, processing until the texture becomes thick and velvety.
Season & Chill: Adjust the seasoning with a pinch of sea salt and white pepper, transfer the dip to an airtight container, and chill for 20 minutes before serving.
Nutritional Insight: This emulsion swaps heavy oils for prebiotic-rich haricot beans and Greek yogurt, providing a low-GI, protein-dense fuel that slows gastric emptying and successfully quietens food noise on GLP-1 protocols. Culinary Hack: If the spread feels too dense after adding the protein powder, blend in one or two tablespoons of cold water to instantly restore a light, mayonnaise-like texture.
