The Garden of Vegan: How It All Vegan! Again

November 1, 2022 10:48 PM

Oddly specific request. Do you have this book? May I ask you to share the recipe on page 129 for Artichoke & Black Bean Dip? Thank you!

This dip delights vegans and dairy-free folks alike. It's from a twenty year old vegan cookbook, and my local library no longer has it in circulation. Thank you for your help!

Different edition, different page, same recipe? Check page 198 here. Looks tasty!

Best answer:

1-½ cups cooked or canned black beans
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 6-oz (156-ml) jar artichoke hearts, chopped

In blender or food processor, blend together the beans, garlic, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper until coarse. Stir in the artichoke hearts. Serve chilled. Makes approx 2 cups.

I feel faint reading this is from a 20 year old cookbook. This was the cookbook I gifted to the first vegan group house I was living in in grad school. Which surely can't be 20 years ago haha. But I can attest that this spread is legit delicious.

St. Peepsburg, at the bottom of Nathaole's profile, under the crouton garden, you will see the option to "Generate a new crouton." When you click on it, it gives you a crouton and you can take that crouton to your garden or move on to another crouton. As I am a true crouton petter, I couldn't possibly pass one by, so I now have a crouton garden of my own.

That same page contains a recipe for a Spicy Peanut Dip that sounds like a good time:

1 1/2 cups soft or silken tofu)
3-4 tbl peanut butter (or other nut butter)
2 tbsp lime juice
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (yeah, that's not nearly enough)
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tbsp Braggs
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
