    1 vote
    Marinated artichokes find a perfect relationship with White Navy beans. A sweet spot was achieved with just the right touch of Quebec Maple syrup. A buttery, smooth taste with a slight tang. Delicious and satisfying. For a dedicated post...refer here: http://www.foodessa.com/2014/04/artichoke-white-bean-maple-syrup-spread.html

      This dip sounds exciting and has an interesting flavor profile. I would like to try it with Agave Nectar since it has a low glycemic index, thanks for sharing.

        Thanks for taking interest.
        I agree, that Agave does have a lower GI, and I'm sure it would taste fine.
        BTW, if you're interested in lowering the GI even more, try fine coconut palm sugar...it tastes great as well.

        Have a great day and flavourful wishes,
        Claudia
