How to Make Garlic Infused White Bean Dip
  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil until shimmering gently, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add sliced garlic cloves to the oil, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes until soft, lightly golden, and fragrant.
  3. In a food processor, pulse cannellini beans, tahini, lemon juice, and the infused garlic oil until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
  4. Add reserved bean liquid or water, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending briefly until you reach a silky, spreadable consistency.
  5. Sprinkle salt and freshly cracked black pepper, then blend for just 5 seconds. Taste and adjust lemon juice or seasonings as needed.
