The Basics

• Dish: Appetizers and Starters
• cuisine: Other
• Serves: 4
• Prep Time: 0hrs 35 mins
• Cooking Time: 0hrs 0 mins

Ingredients

• 425g tin butter beans - or try black eyes beans (drained / rinsed)
• 200g fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• pinch sea salt (optional)
• pinch pepper (optional)
• 4 cloves garlic - in their skins

Method

1) Put the garlic cloves into a small oven-proof dish, and cover with half the olive oil - cook under a medium heat for 15-20 minutes until soft inside.

2) Pop the cloves out of their skins - they will burst free easily enough!

3) Put all the ingredients - roasted garlic, beans, parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil - into a blender (or into a bnowl if you have a hand held blender), and whizz until pureed to a perfect, thick, soupy texture.

4) Add a little extra olive oil if too dry, or lemon juice, if you prefer?

5) Chop up some carrots, cucumber and yellow / orange peppers (raw), and dip in!
