2ClovesGarlicchopped
1TspPaprika
1/4TspBlack Pepper
1/8TspCumin

1 15-oz CanWhite Beans

Instructions
To begin, prep all of the dip ingredients by adding them into the food processor and blending on high for about 30-45 seconds.
Then make the garlic sauté. Bring the 2 tbs of olive oil to medium-low heat in a sauté pan. Once the oil is hot, add in the garlic and spices and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to let the garlic brown!
When done, immediately transfer garlic and spices into the food processor with the rest of the dip (making sure to get as much as possible out of the pan), and process until fully incorporated into the dip. Process the dip until it's smooth and creamy (which may take a few minutes).
Taste dip, and adjust seasonings if necessary. Feel free to add more salt and pepper.
Garnish dip with roasted pumpkin seeds and paprika, if you'd like.
Enjoy!
Notes
For this recipe I called for the garlic to be chopped (not minced) since it will be blended into the dip. But feel free to mince if you have a garlic press!
For a smoky twist on this recipe, feel free to add in some smoked paprika or chipotle chili powder.
