Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can canned cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a small skillet over low heat.
Add the minced garlic and rosemary, and sauté gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic softens and becomes fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
In a food processor, combine the cannellini beans, sautéed garlic and rosemary mixture, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If the dip is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired. Optionally, garnish with a small sprig of fresh rosemary for presentation.
Serve with fresh vegetables, crackers, pita bread, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
