For a quick, lightly spiced but fun snack that can be packed to go in a hurry...The spices here can be adapted to suit anyone's taste buds. I happen to be in an Indian mood this week. Shallots, green onion, and dill could be a more authentic spinach dip (maybe with a little Veganaise?) with untoasted bread...yum.
Fake Bacon (get it? "Facon"?) on Toast Squares
Prepare vegan bacon according to package directions
On the same skillet (at medium-high), place toast pieces. While they are browning on one side, lightly coat the other side with all natural cooking spray (or Earth Balance), a light dusting of coriander powder (like, a pinch) and a dusting of salt (again, a pinch). Toast the other side until brown (or if you're like me, until they are dark brown-black). Put bacon on toast.
The Dip
In a small food processor, process:
3 tablespoons hummus
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
5 large spinach leaves, washed and zapped for 20 seconds in the microwave (or lightly steamed)
1 tablespoon pine nuts
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
Optional: Top with black sesame seeds
Love the sound of your dip. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
