Original recipe says it makes 16 servings, but who are we kidding, we could eat this all by ourselves in one sitting. It kept 4 people very happy at a picnic
About to head out to a family weekend at the lake camp, Friday night I was in a rush to throw this together and get it packed. So sadly, there are no pics of my own, however I promise it really did look exactly like the picture in the source recipe!
Ingredients
15 ounces (425 g) cannellini beans, canned, rinsed and drained1/2 cup garlic scapes, chopped
1/2 cup (100 g) grated Parmesan cheese (I used regular shaker cheese like you put on spaghetti)
1/2 cup (120 ml) extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
SERVE WITH
whole grain crackers
sliced baguette
grape tomato halves
Preparation
1. Add the beans to the bowl of the food processor and pulse 3 or 4 times. Add the garlic scapes and olive oil and process for about 30 seconds.2. Add the lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper and process until the dip is thick and creamy. If the dip is a little dry, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of olive oil and process. Serve with whole grain crackers or sliced baguette.
Variations
You can also use about 5 or 6 fresh garlic cloves instead of garlic scapes.If your scapes are very spicy, you can reduce the amount or add some flat leaf parsley to balance the flavor.
Notes:
1. Garlic scapes are a different kind of spicy, not quite like garlic but greener (duh!). The amount to recipe called for was perfect.
2. This made a good amount for a few people as a snack. Next time I'll double the recipe to have leftovers.
3. You would think this would be similar to hummus. It is and it isn't. Husband is not a huge fan of hummus, but kept coming back for this.
