White Bean Dip with Roasted Garlic

Yields
6 servings

This dip is a variation on a Middle Eastern hummus. Usually made with chickpeas and fresh garlic, I’ve used white beans and softened the flavours by using roasted garlic.

directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Step 2

Cut off the very tip of the head of garlic. This will make it easier to squeeze out when finished. Add the garlic to a small roasting pan, sprinkle with olive oil. Cover with aluminum foil. Roast until garlic is soft and golden inside, about 1 hour. Let cool.

Step 3

Mash beans in a mortar and pestle or in a food processor. Squeeze out the cloves of garlic into the beans. Add olive oil, parsley. Stir. Season the dip with salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Transfer to a bowl. Drizzle pomegranate molasses over dip if desired. Serve with slices of baguette or toasted slices of baguette.
