I haven't even tried the recipe, and I'm already "ticked off."......There's no way to print the recipe on one page....without the advertisement and/or coupon....you're wasting my ink and paper! Why should I bother with your site?

Very good basic recipe. I've used it as a general cold dip/spread, too. The only thing I have changed is cutting the garlic down to one smallish clove. Even though I'm a garlic fiend I think this dish is better a little more subtle to allow the roasted red pepper and white bean flavor to come through. As for variations I have substituted the parsley with a teaspoon or so of chopped fresh thyme or a dusting of smoked paprika to good effect.
