Tuscan White Bean Dip

by Kathy Farrell-Kingsley
Serves: 8
 
For a pretty presentation, spoon dip into a hollowed small head of red cabbage. Arrange leafy lettuce leaf in a shallow basket. Place dip in center of basket and arrange crudites and bread sticks attractively around dip. The pita thins may be made one week in advance and kept in an airtight container.

Ingredients:
1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
15-oz. can cannellini beans or small white beans
1 pkg. Mori-Nu® Silken Firm Lite Tofu
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 tsp. dried rosemary
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
sixteen 4-inch pita loaves
 
Instructions:
  1. In a food processor, mince the garlic. Add the beans, reserved liquid, tofu, basil, 2 tablespoons olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper; process until well blended. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. Cover; chill at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Halve the pita loaves horizontally, forming 32 rounds, and brush the rough side of each round lightly with some of the remaining olive oil. Cut each round into long thin triangular strips with scissors and arrange in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake the strips for 6-10 minutes, or until they are golden. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks and let cool. Serve dip at room temperature with pita triangles.
