Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (190 grams) dried white beans, preferably navy beans, picked through for any stony bits
4 to 5 strips of lemon rind plus 1/4 cup (60 grams) lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 head garlic, cloves peeled and kept whole (yielding about 1/2 cup/70 grams cloves)
1 to 2 dried red chiles, such as chile d'arbol

Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup (56 grams) extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
Charred Baby Bell Peppers, recipe follows, for serving
Flakey salt, for serving
3 tablespoons (42 grams) extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces baby bell peppers, halved lengthwise
1 lemon, halved

Steps:

  • To make the bean dip: Combine the beans, lemon rind, garlic cloves, chiles and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a 3- to 4-quart pot and add enough water to cover the beans by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beans are very tender. Discard the lemon rind and chile pepper and drain.
  • Combine the beans, garlic and lemon juice in a food processor. Season with a couple pinches of kosher salt and black pepper. Puree until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. While the motor is running, drizzle in the olive oil. Adjust the seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper, as needed. Reserve in the refrigerator.
  • To serve, schmear some white bean dip on a plate. Pile on the Charred Baby Bell Peppers, squeeze on some of the charred lemon and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Season with black pepper and garnish with a sprinkle of flakey salt.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole head garlic
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound dried white beans, soaked overnight
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 sprigs of thyme to garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut off the top of the head of the garlic and pull away any loose papery skin. Put the garlic on a piece of foil and sprinkle it with two tablespoons olive oil and wrap it up. Bake it for one hour, or until the cloves are tender.
  • Meanwhile, simmer the beans in water to cover for about one hour, or until they are tender. Halfway through cooking time, season them with salt and pepper.

Squeeze six cloves of garlic out of their skins and add them, along with the olive oil (reserve the rest of the garlic for using in salad dressings or on vegetables like baked tomatoes). Process the beans until they are smooth, adding more oil if needed. Correct seasoning and add more garlic if it seems needed. Stir in the thyme leaves and serve in a bowl garnished with sprigs of thyme.
