ROASTED GARLIC LENTIL DIP

4-6 SERVINGS

Roasted Garlic Lentil Dip – if you love white bean dip this LENTIL dip is for you! It’s FULL of roasted garlic and protein and is the best snack or meal!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup split red lentils
• 3 cups water or stock
• 6-8 cloves garlic
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup Italian parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3-4 tablespoons olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

1.       Place the lentils and water in a 3Qt saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook at a simmer, until lentils are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain, then let the lentils cool.

2.       Meanwhile, preheat oven to 475°F. Place cloves of garlic on a sheet of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap up the foil. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until you begin to smell the garlic. Remove from the foil and remove the skins (careful; they’re hot!)

3.       Prepare the dip by adding the lentils, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper to a food processor. Process until smooth, then add 3 tablespoons olive oil. Process until it’s a smooth and silky consistency, adding more oil as needed. Season with additional salt and pepper as desired.

4.       Serve in a bowl with a sprinkle of parsley and dash of olive oil. Serve with pita chips, crackers, or veggies.
