Ingredients
  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans rinsed and drained

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut top off garlic, drizzle with oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 45-60 minutes.
  2. Squeeze roasted garlic into a food processor. Add beans, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, rosemary, and water.
  3. Process until smooth, adding more water if needed.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with oil, and garnish with rosemary, if desired.

Notes

Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and makes it easier to digest. You can roast a larger batch of garlic and store it in the refrigerator for future use.
