CHARRED SERRANO WHITE BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 F (218 C). Spread the peppers out on a baking sheet lined with foil (or a bare baking sheet brushed with oil) and roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping the peppers halfway to ensure even charring.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons (30 ml // adjust if altering number of servings) of olive oil. Once hot, add the garlic and shallot, sautéing until softened and translucent - about 3 minutes. Lower heat to medium-low and add the cannellini beans and the salt and pepper. Mix well to combine and heat for 3-5 minutes or until the beans are warmed through.
• Remove peppers from the oven and carefully wrap the foil around them to steam for a few minutes. Then carefully peel away the skin and remove the seeds, making sure to wash your hands thoroughly after.
• To a food processor, add the bean mixture, charred peppers (start with just 1 if you prefer less heat), cashew butter, and lemon juice. Blend for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides as needed. Then, with the processor running, carefully stream in the remaining 3 tablespoons (45 ml // adjust if altering batch size) of olive oil until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
• Enjoy warm or chill before serving. It's delicious in bowls, as a spread on sandwiches, or as a dip with fresh veggies, crackers, pita bread, flatbread (or gluten-free flatbread), or naan (or gluten-free naan).
• Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Not freezer friendly.

WHITE BEAN DIP WITH ROASTED GREEN CHILE

Steps:

• If using dried beans, combine the soaked beans and 6 garlic cloves in a large sauce pan and add cold water to cover by 1 inch. (If usung canned beans, skip to step 2) Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until soft, about1 to 1 1/2 hours, adding boiling water as needed to keep beans covered. Drain.
• In a food processor (or blender) combine the beans, garlic and chiles and process until coursely mashed, with the motor still running add the olive oil, process until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve at room temperature.
• You can make this a day ahead, but be sure to bring it to room temperatuter and wait to garnish it with cilantro until ready to serve.
• Note - To roast the chiles you can either use a grill or under the broiler, under very high heat, either case you want to place them about 4 inches away from the high heat and blacken the skin (since poblano chiles are un-even, you don't have to wait until ALL the skin is totally black, just use your best judgement and do not burn the chile meat), don't burn the chiles, just blacken the skin, turning when necessary then place them in a plastic bag and let them sit for about 10 minutes, after that, the skins should just slide off, discard the skin.
• Hint - When I use a broiler instead of the grill to roast the chiles, I add a dash of liquid smoke to the mix, like 1/4 of a teaspoon.
• Time does not include cooking of the beans.

ROASTED GARLIC AND WHITE BEAN DIP WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Roast the garlic: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel off most of the garlic's outermost skin but leave the whole head intact. Trim about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic to expose the cloves. Place the garlic on a large piece of aluminum foil, then drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the exposed cloves and close the foil into a pouch. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until you can pierce the center of the head with a knife. Let cool slightly.
• Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the bowl of a food processor. Add the white beans, 4 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, black pepper, cayenne (if using), hot water and salt. Purée until smooth, then taste for salt, pepper, rosemary and lemon juice. Adjust as necessary. Transfer to a serving dish.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the remaining rosemary sprig - it should sizzle. Cook until brown and crisp, flipping once, about 1 minute per side, then transfer to the top of the dip as a garnish. Pour or spoon the remaining olive oil, now infused with rosemary, over the top of the dip. Sprinkle with cayenne for a little additional heat.
