Roast the spring onions. Bring the goat cheese up to room temperature. Prepare and assemble the snap peas. Blend up the spring onions, white beans and other ingredients to make a spread. Serve with French bread. Package separately if taking to go. Skip the bread and opt for rice crackers to make this lunch gluten-free.

Spring Onion White Bean Dip

Spring onions are roasted until caramel colored and then whipped up with white beans & rosemary to create a rich, yet vegan dip. For the spring onions, select medium-large sized bulbs. A food processor will give you a creamier dip, but using a potato masher will at least get the job done, albeit a bit chunkier.

Herb & Goat Cheese Snap Peas

Creamy herbs & goat cheese are filled into the open shells of snap peas. If this seems too time consuming, simply prepare the filling like a dip and have diners dip or even fill their own. These are delightful packed in a lunch bag or as a lovely party appetizer. Any herbs that you love will do from dill, parsley, sorrel, basil, rosemary, thyme or even cilantro for a southwest inspired flavor.

French bread

Okay. This is not exactly a recipe, but rather sometimes the best pairing for your meal is a crusty loaf of French bread. My family lineage is French, what can I say crusty bread seems more appropriate then not. So, here it is.

Let’s call it a reminder. In addition, here are a few tips on how to store it, keep it fresh, or use it up. Whenever possible try to find those crusty gorgeous whole-grain varieties.
