White Bean Ricotta & Baby Artichoke Toast
Savory toast with a white-bean and cashew based ricotta spread topped with baby artichokes and fresh dill. Perfect for brunch or a light lunch!
Made with Native Forest Baby Artichoke Hearts by Flora & Vino
The vegan “ricotta” is made out of white beans, raw cashews, and lemon juice.
Smash it on a piece of toast and top with dill and baby artichoke hearts
Serves: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup cashew pieces, quick-soaked in hot water for 30 minutes
- 1 TBSP unsweetened almond milk
- 1 15-oz. can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tsp runny tahini
- ½ lemon, squeezed
- ½ tsp maple syrup (optional)
- 1 TBSP nutritional yeast (optional)
- Himalayan sea salt, to taste
- 4-6 slices seeded bread (Gluten-Free/Vegan as needed)
- 1 jar Native Forest Baby Artichoke Hearts, halved
- fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
- Add the cashews to a small bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for at least minutes, then drain and rinse well.
- Transfer soaked cashews to a blender with the almond milk until you have a thick lumpy paste. Add in the beans, tahini, lemon juice, and optional maple syrup. Pulse until you have a thick well-combined spread, scraping down the sides as needed. It’s OK if it’s not perfectly smooth– some texture is desirable here.
- Use immediately or chill or 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- To assemble toasts, spread white bean ricotta over toasted seeded bread and top with sliced baby artichoke hearts and fresh dill. Enjoy!
