Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 head garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
pinch kosher salt
1 29 ounce can Cannellini beans ((white kidney beans))
3/4 teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary
3/4 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped sage
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
head of roasted garlic (peeled)
1/4 cup oil packed, sun-dried tomatoes (finely chopped)
drizzle of good olive oil
sprinkle of fresh herbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400.
  • Use a sharp knife and trim the top 1/3" - 1/2" of the head of garlic. Place the garlic in a small piece of tin foil (use the trimmed pieces as well) Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  • Seal up the tin foil and roast for 30 minutes or until garlic is very tender. Remove from oven and let the garlic rest until it's cool enough to handle. Remove the garlic cloves from the peel and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium high heat until the oil starts to moire and is hot but not smoking. Turn off the heat and immediately add the chopped herbs. The oil will sizzle because of the freshness of the herbs. Swirl the pan so that the herbs are completely coated with the hot oil and set aside.
  • Drain the cannellini beans in a mesh strainer, but DO NOT RINSE THE BEANS. Discard the bean liquid. Transfer the beans to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times until the beans resemble a chunky dip.
  • To the bean mixture, add the oil and herb mixture, kosher salt, and lemon juice. Pulse 4 to 5 times to incorporate the ingredients. Add the garlic and lemon juice and pulse to puree the roasted garlic.
  • Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and pulse 2-3 times to combine.
  • Transfer the white bean dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the dip and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve with pita chips or fresh crudite.

TUSCAN WHITE BEAN DIP



Tuscan White Bean Dip image

I was looking for a heathy appetizer to take to a party and decided a good garlicy white bean dip would be the choice. A friend had sent me a recipe for a bean dip. I tried the dip and then tweaked it to my taste. This ultimately should be served on pita chips, however not being able to buy those in Holland, I chose to use plain salted tortilla chips. My recipe was a complete success at the party. People loved it and not a drop was left. At first when told of the dip my husband was skeptical of a healthy bean dip. However he raved about it as well.

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (15 ounce) cans white beans, drained, rinsed well and drained again
4 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, plus one sprig
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt & pepper
plain salted tortilla chips

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine beans, garlic, lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, parsley, red pepper flakes, basil and mustard.
  • Process mixture until creamy smooth.
  • Sample mixture and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour mixture into serving bowl, garnish with a sprig of parsley and 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top.
  • Serve with tortilla chips.

Tips:

  • Soaking the beans overnight: This is an important step to soften the beans and reduce cooking time. If you're short on time, you can also quick-soak the beans by bringing them to a boil in a pot of water, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for an hour.
  • Using a blender or food processor: This is the easiest way to get a smooth and creamy dip. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can also mash the beans by hand, but it will take a little longer.
  • Seasoning the dip to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and garlic you add will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serving the dip: Tuscan white bean dip can be served as an appetizer with crackers, bread, or vegetables. It can also be used as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.

Conclusion:

Tuscan white bean dip is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or even a main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
