Cook Time

Yield

1 Cup

Ingredients

1 garlic (whole)
1 tablespoon olive oil (plus 1 teaspoon)
15 ounces beans, white (drained & rinsed)
3 tablespoons tahini
1 lemon juice
1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
1⁄8 teaspoon paprika, smoked
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons parsley, fresh (roughly chopped & divided)
1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper, ground
1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Take the whole head of garlic, and slice off the top, so a little bit of each clove is exposed. Place in aluminum foil and drizzle 1 tsp of olive oil on top of the cloves. Wrap the head of garlic in the foil and place in the oven. Roast for 30-40 minutes until the cloves are slightly brown, noticeable juicy and fragrant. Remove the head from the foil and let cool for 10-15 minutes. While the garlic is cooling, in a food processor add white beans, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp of fresh parsley (reserve the remaining 1 Tbsp for topping). Squeeze roasted garlic (removing skin) into food processor. Blend ingredients until smooth. Taste and add more salt, pepper or parsley. Spoon into a serving bowl or platter and top with a drizzle of olive oil, remaining fresh parsley and black pepper. Enjoy with pita chips or fresh vegetables!
