The false note here is that the photo is not of white beans, which are what I used. Oh well, so shoot me. Do you like my arch title? (Oh, go look up "arch".)We're off to friends for dinner tonight and I made this to take along. It's totally easy and totally delicious. The amount of garlic is negotiable. I normally use lots, but moderated it for this. I got Peter to make some pita chips as delivery vehicles.
A dip like this can be bland, so it is essential to taste it and be aggressive with added flavorings.
You will need:
2 14 oz cans small white beans
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
chili powder to taste, or red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
3-4 Tbs olive oil
juice of one lemon
Everything goes into the food processor and becomes a puree. You're done. After you've tasted it of course.
Oh I will use my bean! I haven't met the bean dip I didn't love, and load it with garlic like this - well I'm a happy woman :) Sounds delicious Stephen, hope you have fun with your friends! happy 4th!
