--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  14      oz            Great Northern beans --
                        - drained and rinsed
     1/4  c             Fresh lemon juice
   2      tb            Dried bread crumbs
   2      tb            Almonds -- toasted, chopped
   1      cl            Garlic
     1/2  ts            Dried basil
     1/8  ts            Ground red pepper -- to taste
   6                    Sun-dried tomato pieces --
                        - chopped

Process beans, lemon juice, bread crumbs, almonds, garlic, basil, and
pepper in a food processor until smooth. Stir in tomatoes. Cover and
chill until ready to serve, at least 1 hour.

Yield: 1-1/2 Cups

Tips:

To toast almonds, place them in a small nonstick skillet and cover
over medium-low heat, shaking the skillet occasionally, until they're
golden, about 5 minutes.

A drop of hot-pepper sauce, like Tabasco, may replace the ground red
pepper.

Show off this dip by serving in a sweet red pepper shell-half. Cut,
remove seeds and membranes, rinse and dry. Use other half for
crudites.
