White Bean Spread with Roasted Garlic

By bakers_delight85

Ingredients

• 1 * 1 head Garlic
• 1 * 1-¼ teaspoon Olive Oil, Divided
• 1 * 1 can (15.8 Oz. Can) Northern Beans (or Cannellini)
• * ¼ cups Fresh Cilantro Leaves, Loosely Packed
• * ¼ teaspoons Salt
• * ¼ teaspoons Pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Peel most of the papery skin off of the head of garlic. Cut the top off of the garlic head to reveal individual cloves.

Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of olive oil over garlic, lightly coating garlic all over.

Wrap garlic in aluminum foil, or use a garlic roaster (or make your own), and bake in the oven for 45 minutes.

While garlic is roasting, warm beans in a small pan on low.

When garlic is finished roasting, let cool to the touch.

In a food processor, combine the warm beans, cilantro, salt, pepper and roasted garlic cloves until smooth.

If needed, add a little olive oil at a time until you reach preferred consistency.

Enjoy!
