How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°.

Step 2

Cut the top third of garlic heads off so tops of cloves are exposed. Place heads, unpeeled, in ovenproof dish and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Cover with aluminum foil; bake 30 minutes.

Step 3

Uncover and bake until the garlic cloves are soft and golden brown, another 30–40 minutes. (Make ahead and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.)

Step 4

In a food processor, combine the beans, roasted garlic, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and lemon juice and process until smooth. Add the salt and white pepper. This will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Step 5

To serve, transfer to a bowl, garnish with the parsley leaves, and serve with vegetables.

Saranae's Review

I used 16 oz. homemade navy beans and 1 lb. of firm tofu, rinsed and squeezed between two plates to remove excess moisture. In place of pepper, I used dried basil. I got rave reviews at the fellowship dinner at church as a spread on bread. I also used it as a cheeseless topping on homemade pizza. I spread it over the crust in place of the pizza sauce. I added my favorite veggie toppings including fresh basil leaves. Baked it and served it with marinara sauce on the side. Excellent! Highly recommend this recipe.

Yum! This is excellent as a dip with veggies, bread, or as a sandwich spread. The only thing I did differently was only using 2 T. oil when I blended everything together.
