Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz white beans (cannellini or navy beans), drained and rinsed
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.25 tsp paprika (for garnish)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the garlic cloves, place them on a small piece of foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly to create a packet. Roast for 10 minutes until the garlic is soft and fragrant.
In a food processor, combine the drained white beans, roasted garlic cloves, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated. If the dip is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if necessary.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
Serve immediately with your choice of veggies, pita bread, or crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
