Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium eggplant
1 red bell pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tbsp for roasting, 4 tbsp for processing
1 can canned cannellini, or other white bean, drained & rinsed
2 cloves garlic cloves, peeled
⅓ cup fresh parsley, loosely packed
3 tablespoons lemon juice, about 1 lemon's worth
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450˚F (230˚C).
  • Cut eggplant and bell pepper into medium-sized pieces, being sure to remove the seeds, and spread them out on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
  • Lightly coat the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, until the edges begin to char and the skin blisters.
  • Add roasted vegetables to a food processor along with the beans, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and seasonings.
  • Pulse until the ingredients are roughly chopped. Then, with the machine running, slowly pour in the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil into the food processor and blend until the mixture is smooth.
  • Transfer mixture to a bowl and serve with freshly cut vegetables, crackers, or pita bread.
  • Alternatively, the mixture can be placed into individual serving-sized containers and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Enjoy!
