Time 11h25m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups dried white beans
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
5 large cloves garlic
1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons white distilled vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Vegetables or crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • For the beans: Put the beans in a bowl and cover with cold water by 3 inches above the top of the beans. Let soak overnight.
  • Strain the beans, discarding the soaking liquid. Place them in a pot and cover with water by 3 inches above the top of the beans. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and let cook until the beans are tender, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Strain and let cool.
  • For the dip: Bring 1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a boil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and a pinch of salt and simmer until the water reduces down and the onions become translucent and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the beans and heat until they become warm.
  • Meanwhile, add the Worcestershire, vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, hot sauce, 4 tablespoons olive oil and some salt to a food processor. Transfer the bean mixture to the food processor. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and another pinch of salt. Puree the beans until smooth. Add more oil if needed for taste or texture. Taste for seasoning. Serve with vegetables or crackers.

ROASTED GARLIC AND WHITE BEAN DIP WITH ROSEMARY



Roasted Garlic and White Bean Dip With Rosemary image

The idea of adding a whole head of garlic to a dip might scare you, but compared to its bracing raw counterpart, roasted garlic is sweet and mellow. This dip is garnished with a sprig of sizzled rosemary that's for more than just looks: Frying the herb infuses the olive oil with its fragrance. Spoon the remainder over your finished bowl for a hit of rosemary you wouldn't get with just the minced leaves, then scoop it up with warm pita, cucumber spears, and carrot sticks.

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings (2 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head garlic
1 teaspoon, plus 5 tablespoons olive oil
2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, like cannellini, Great Northern or navy beans, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh rosemary leaves, plus 1 full sprig
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch of cayenne, plus more for garnish (optional)
1 tablespoon hot water
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Roast the garlic: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel off most of the garlic's outermost skin but leave the whole head intact. Trim about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic to expose the cloves. Place the garlic on a large piece of aluminum foil, then drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the exposed cloves and close the foil into a pouch. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until you can pierce the center of the head with a knife. Let cool slightly.
  • Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the bowl of a food processor. Add the white beans, 4 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, black pepper, cayenne (if using), hot water and salt. Purée until smooth, then taste for salt, pepper, rosemary and lemon juice. Adjust as necessary. Transfer to a serving dish.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the remaining rosemary sprig - it should sizzle. Cook until brown and crisp, flipping once, about 1 minute per side, then transfer to the top of the dip as a garnish. Pour or spoon the remaining olive oil, now infused with rosemary, over the top of the dip. Sprinkle with cayenne for a little additional heat.

CHUNKY KIDNEY BEAN DIP



Chunky Kidney Bean Dip image

I adopted this from the Recipezaar account. Suggested dippers: veggies, sausage, corn chips, and/or tortilla chips. After making this (7/08) I decided to reduce the amounts of spices - the original recipe called for 1 Tbsp/each, cumin & coriander - I used 1 tsp/each. Please feel free to experiment for your own taste though! :)
