Step 1

Place the mung beans in a bowl and cover with fresh water by at least 5 cm (2 inches). Let them soak overnight or for at least 8 hours to soften the beans and make them easier to digest. In the morning, drain and rinse them thoroughly.

Notes

Serving Suggestion:

  • Use as a sandwich or wrap filling, or dollop onto grain bowls.

Storage:

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days—the dip will thicken in the fridge, so stir in a tablespoon or two of water or olive oil before serving to restore the creamy consistency. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months—thaw overnight in the refrigerator and stir well before serving.

Adaptations:

  • Use only mung beans or only lentils if you prefer (though the combination provides the best texture).

  • Add fresh ginger along with the garlic for a warming, spicy kick.

  • Include 1-2 tablespoons of tahini for a creamier, nuttier flavor similar to hummus.

  • Try different spices—cumin, paprika, turmeric, or garam masala all work amazingly.

  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice instead of balsamic for brightness.

  • Include roasted bell peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for different flavour variations.

  • Make it spicier with fresh jalapeños or more chilli.

  • Add fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or mint directly into the blend.

Macros are provided for reference (of course, the accuracy of these can vary due to adaptations of the ingredients or slightly different amounts/portion sizes), but at THV we don't obsess over numbers — No stress. No guilt. Just nourishment🌱💪🏻💕! Count the colors on your plate not the calories ;).
