2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 can cannellini or great northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Salt and pepper to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh herbs, if desired (basil, thyme, parsley, etc)
Put olive oil in a small bowl. Smash garlic cloves with the side of a knife and put in the oil. Squish around with a spoon to release garlic flavor. Allow to infuse for a few minutes, then remove the garlic pieces and discard (or use for another recipe).
Puree garlicky olive oil and all ingredients together in a food processor or blender. Adjust seasoning as desired. Use as a dip for vegetables or bread or as a sandwich spread.
