3 heads garlic, tops cut off |
7 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest |
1 1/4 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place heads of garlic, cut side facing up, in a small baking dish. Drizzle with 1 TBSP of the olive oil. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour or until tender. Uncover and set aside to cool.
3. Squeeze garlic cloves into food processor. Add remaining oil from baking dish, plus 4 TBSP oil, beans, lemon juice, salt, lemon zest, and rosemary. Blend until smooth.
4. Transfer mixture to bowl and season with freshly ground black pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Should be served at room temperature.
