Ingredients

• 1 Garlic bulb
• 400 grams Canned white beans (e.g., cannellini or great northern beans), drained and rinsed
• 50 grams Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), drained and chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Tahini
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water (optional for thinning)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley or basil (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil.

Step 3

Roast the garlic bulb in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes.

Step 4

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and set them aside.

Step 5

In a food processor, combine the roasted garlic, white beans, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the dip is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.

Step 8

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with crackers, fresh vegetables, or pita bread, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
