garlic + bean mash
1 head new season garlic
240g (drained weight) cooked cannellini beans (i.e. one 400g tin)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon
salt + black pepper
Cut the top off the fresh garlic head (and trim the base, if necessary) and place on a small oven-proof dish. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan and roast for 45 minutes to an hour, until lightly browned and soft. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out the paste from the cloves. Add this, the beans, the olive oil, the lemon juice and seasoning to a food processor bowl and whizz briefly. Taste - add more lemon juice and seasoning as required.
