Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked white beans, rinsed and well drained
- 1 head roasted garlic, cloves removed from peels
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced mixed fresh herbs, such as thyme, marjoram, oregano and rosemary
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons grated or shaved Parmesan, for garnishing

Directions
Crostini, for serving, recipe follows
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the beans, the roasted garlic, olive oil, 2 teaspoons of the herbs, salt, pepper, cayenne, and red wine vinegar and process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl, as necessary. (If the dip seems too thick, thin with a bit of chicken broth or water.) Transfer to a saucepan and heat gently over low heat until warm. (Dip may also be served at room temperature if desired.) Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or wide rimmed plate, smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Garnish with Parmesan, and salt and pepper. Serve with Crostini.

I followed the recipe but this didn't really taste like anything. It also had a funky aftertaste.

My husband loved this dip AND it took me 20 min. to make. I added atleast a 1/2 cup of fresh herbs and more for garnish. I also added just a little water at the end to loosen it up.
