Mistaken Lentil Dip

This is a recipe I made as I opened the wrong can from my pantry. I thought I was opening chick peas for hummus, but I opened Lentils, as it turns out I didn't actually have any chick peas anyway... I have to say it is one of the best mistakes I've made in the kitchen:)

Ingredients

• 1 (19 ounce) can lentils
• 1  teaspoon cumin
• 1  teaspoon  more if you like curry powder
• 1  teaspoon ginger powder
• 1  dash cayenne

Directions

1. Put all ingredients in a blender of food processor and mix till very smooth, you may need to add a tablespoon of water or two. Be patient, mix it and continue to blend til very smooth.
2. I put some of this mixture on the bottom of a small oven safe dish, covered with 1 cup or more of a variety of white cheeses and baked under the broiler for 4 minutes, served with pita wedges -- soooo good!
