Think of European hummus. Supper easy to make and tastes fantastic! This is such an excellent appetizer served on a small piece of toasted baguette. Spread it on a sandwich for a health version of mayo. I try to keep this in the house as much as possible; you just never know when you need a fast dish to pass when you have unexpected friends pop over.
1 large clove garlic, peeled
1 15 oz. can of great northern white beans, rinsed and drained well
1 Tbsp. fresh chopped basil
2 Tbsp. chopped sun-dried tomatoes
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 C. olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
Using a food processor, while running drop in garlic clove. Scrap bowl to insure fine chopping of clove. Add next 4 ingredients and process, scrap bowl occasionally, making sure everything is blended well. While processor is still running slowly add oil. You may need to add a small amount of water to adjust consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve with freah cut vegetables, warm flat bread, or chips. Can be made 3-4 days in advance, cover and chill.
