White bean dip with roasted garlic and herbs

Yield: 6 servings

• 5 to 6 cloves roasted garlic (see note)
• 3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives
• 2 cups cannelini beans (drained and rinsed if using canned)
• 3 to 4 tablespoons PRMRY Enhance extra virgin olive oil
• 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or as needed)

In a food processor, pulse roasted garlic cloves until minced. Add in the herbs, pulsing a few more times to mince.

Measure in the beans, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Run the food process until the dip is smooth, adding 1 tablespoons more of olive oil or lemon juice as needed based on taste and texture. Taste and add salt as needed.

Tips & Tricks: My favorite way to roast garlic is to cut the top from the head, enough to expose the garlic, rub generously with olive oil, then place face-down in a roasting pan. Roast at 400˚ F for 30 to 40 minutes, turning over after 30 minutes and continuing to cook until soft.
