White Beans and Roasted Garlic

Roasted Garlic:

Preheat oven to 400. Take one head of garlic and peel of first few layers of skin but not all of it. Slice tops off as evenly as possible. You won't be able to hit all of the tops but you'll get most of them. Pour some olive oil on top. Wrap in foil and bake for 30 - 40 or minutes.

Bean Dip:

2 cans of cannelloni beans (big or small)
shallot
Lemon
Olive Oil
Fresh Parsley
Kosher salt and pepper

Mince shallot and saute in olive oil. Rinse beans and add them to pan to saute. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over mixture. Season with kosher salt and pepper, add in chopped parsley, mash beans with fork/spoon/spatula.

Suggested serving methods: Get some good bread and toast in the oven. Spread roasted garlic on bread and top with white beans. You can also top off with some Parmesan shavings. Or you can mix the roasted garlic cloves in with the beans and run it through a blender to make a smooth dip.
