Equipment

  • 1 food processor or blender

Ingredients

  • 2 cans Cannelini Beans 15.5 oz cans
  • zest of 1/2 lemon
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • freshly cracked pepper

Instructions

  • In the bowl of your food processor, place the beans, rosemary and juice and zest of 1/2 lemon.
  • Pulse until roughly combined. Add olive oil, salt and pepper. Pulse again until you get your desired consistency. I like to have a bit of texture to my bean dip, but you can pulse it until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour into a bowl and top with a sprig of fresh rosemary (optional) and freshly cracked pepper. You can also drizzle a bit of olive oil on top as I have here.
  • Serve with naan bread, vegetables or a baguette.

Notes

If making this recipe ahead of time, skip step 3 and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week.
