White Bean & Roasted Garlic Dip
Ingredients
- 1 head garlic
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided use
- 1 (15-ounce) can white beans (great northern beans or navy will also work)
- 1⁄2 cup cooked quinoa (see method here)
- 1⁄4 cup cold water, as needed
- Fine sea salt & ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Remove the outer layers of the garlic and slice the top off the entire head so that the flesh of each clove is revealed.
- Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of oil, spreading it evenly over the garlic with your finger.
- Place in a muffin tin, cover with tin foil, and roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, until the cloves are soft.
- Scoop the garlic out of the head and add it, along with the white beans, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and cooked quinoa, to a food processor fit with the steel blade.
- Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Once smooth, slowly add the water until you have your desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve. Use your crackers to dip!
