(www.VeganChef.com)
Ingredients
1 red pepper,
destemmed, deseeded, and quartered lengthwise
1 medium onion,
sliced 1/2-inch thick
3 cloves garlic,
peeled
1 - 15 oz. can
cannellini or Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
3 T. freshly
chopped parsley
2 T. lemon juice
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
Directions
Line a cookie
sheet with aluminum foil and place the pepper and onion in rows on
the foil. Broil the vegetables for 5-7 minutes or until slightly
charred, and remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Flip over the
vegetables, add the cloves of garlic to the cookie sheet, return the
cookie sheet to the oven, and broil an additional 5-7 minutes to
slightly char the other side. Allow the vegetables to cool slightly
and then gently remove the skin from the peppers. In a food
processor or blender, place the roasted vegetables, white beans,
lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and process until smooth. Add the
parsley and process for an additional 30 seconds to thoroughly
incorporate it. Transfer the mixture to a glass bowl. Use as a
spread on crackers, bread, or sandwiches, or serve with raw
vegetables.
