Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Garlic bulb
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 15 ounces Canned cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
- optional Crackers or bread (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves inside. Place the garlic on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap the foil around the bulb loosely to create a sealed pouch.
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted cloves out of the bulb and set them aside.
In a food processor, combine the roasted garlic, cannellini beans, lemon juice, tahini, rosemary, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Blend the mixture until smooth.
To achieve your desired consistency, add the water 1 tablespoon at a time while blending. Continue to blend until the spread is creamy and smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or pepper to your preference.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little extra olive oil, and garnish with additional chopped rosemary, if desired.
Serve with crackers, sliced baguette, or raw vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!
