Ingredients

• 15 oz canned white beans (such as cannellini or great northern)
• 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.5 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp water or vegetable broth
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned white beans under cold water to remove excess sodium or preservatives.

Step 2

Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Add the white beans, sautéed garlic, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt, pepper, and water (or vegetable broth) into a food processor or blender.

Step 5

Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides as needed. Add an extra tablespoon of water or broth if the mixture is too thick.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

Step 7

Transfer the whipped white beans to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with warm pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables, or use as a spread for sandwiches. Enjoy!
