Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • warm water as needed
  • pita chips and vegetables to serve

Method
 

  1. Warm olive oil in a small pan over medium heat; add garlic slices and cook 2–3 minutes until golden, then remove garlic to a plate.
  2. Add beans, tahini, lemon juice, rosemary, salt and pepper to a food processor.
  3. Blend, adding warm water 1 tablespoon at a time, until silky.
  4. Spoon into a bowl, drizzle with the garlic oil and top with the crispy garlic.
  5. Serve with pita chips and vegetables.

Notes

The dip thickens in the fridge; loosen with a spoonful of warm water before serving. Keep the crispy garlic separate until serving so it stays crisp.
