Print Recipe

Ingredients

3 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
6-8 Cloves Garlic (6 large or 8 small)
½ Tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
2 15 oz. Can Cannellini White Beans + 2 Tbsp. reserved bean liquid
1 Tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
½ Tbsp. Chopped Fresh parsley

Instructions

Roughly chop your garlic cloves and add them, your red pepper flakes with the olive oil in a small saucepan. Simmer for at least 10-15 minutes on the LOWEST heat setting your stove has. You should see very small bubbles underneath barely simmering. Do NOT burn your garlic, this will ruin the flavor! Once you start to see the garlic browning, take it off the heat.
Drain the liquid from you beans (reserving 2 tbsp). Add the drained beans, entire pot of garlic oil, lemon juice, reserved bean liquid and salt to a food processor and puree until smooth. (about 30 seconds) If consistency is too thick for your liking, you can add more bean liquid, olive oil or just some water to thin it out.
Remove blade and stir in parsley with a spoon. You want to keep the parsley leaves nice and large. Serve with grilled pita triangles, crusty bread, wheat thins or veggies!

Notes

Party Tips*
