White Bean, Garlic, Rosemary, and Red Pepper Dip

June 15, 2012 by Jaida 4 Comments

It’s that time again!! The bi-monthly recipe swap hosted by A Taste of Home Cooking! And this is the round we call Blogger’s Choice, where we are assigned a blog and get to choose any recipe we want. I was assigned Amy’s blog, What’s Brewing in the Kitchen, and after searching through looking for just the right recipe, I came across this yummy veggie dip! I’ve been looking for healthy snack alternatives that I can have in the evenings or at work, and this was just what I needed. Easy, healthy, and oh-so-delicious!
I used quite a bit of garlic, so it had a kick to it, but if I hadn’t run out of pita bread, I could have eaten the entire batch. I will definitely be having this for snacks regularly!
White Bean, Garlic, Rosemary, and Red Pepper Dip
As seen on What’s Brewing in the Kitchen
Ingredients
  • 1 garlic bulb
  • 1 cup canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 scallions, cut into large pieces
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut off the pointed end of the garlic bulb. Wrap the garlic in foil, pour a little olive oil over the cut end,  and roast until soft, about 30 minutes.
  2. Remove the garlic from the oven, open the foil, and allow the garlic to cool. Squeeze the garlic from the skins into a food processor.
  3. Add the beans, lemon juice, olive oil, scallions, red pepper, rosemary and caynne. Puree until smooth.
  4. Transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate, covered, until the flavors are blended, at least one hour.
  5. Serve with pita bread or chips, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. for dipping.

    I have tried a lot of different hummus, and haven't found one that I like, but the color on this looks so great. You may have talked me into trying it one more time…especially since I love pita chips.

    I'm trying this. The baby loves hummus, but I bet I could get him to snarf this down by the (tiny and adorable) handful too.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
