Chef’s Corner: Smoked Mullet & White Bean Dip

Smoked Mullet and White Bean Dip
• 1 C shredded smoked mullet, approximately 1 small fillet
• 1⁄2 C white beans
• 2 TBS extra virgin olive oil
• Juice and zest of 1⁄2 of a lemon
• Salt to taste

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and bled until smooth.
2. Serve with crackers or on toast, garnished with fresh dill.

Notes: Sumac can be used in place of the lemon but a little more liquid may be needed to get the
consistency correct. If using canned beans drain but do not rinse before measuring. Reserve bean liquid
to adjust final consistency if needed. Any smoked fish may be substituted.

This recipe was adapted from Sean Sherman’s The Sioux Chef cookbook. Check it out its amazing!
