Creamy, herbaceous, and deeply satisfying, this white bean dip is the kind of thing you'll want to keep in the fridge at all times. Cannellini beans blend up impossibly smooth with tahini, fresh lemon juice, and a warm hit of cumin and turmeric, giving you a spread that feels both rustic and a little luxurious. The real magic is the rosemary-garlic oil — briefly bloomed in a skillet until fragrant and golden, it gets scraped straight into the food processor and infuses every bite with savory, aromatic depth. Every single ingredient here is plant-based by nature, so there's no swapping or substituting required — it just works. Drizzled with good olive oil and finished with a pinch of red pepper flakes, it looks stunning on a table without much effort at all. Serve it with pita, raw vegetables, or honestly just a spoon — no one's judging.

Ingredients

6 servings

2 cans (15 oz each) white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
2 tbsp tahini
¼ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper
2–4 tbsp water, as needed

For the rosemary oil

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

For serving

1 sprig fresh rosemary, for garnish (optional)
pinch of red pepper flakes, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and just turning golden at the edges, about 1–2 minutes. Watch closely, as garlic can brown quickly. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes.
2
Add the drained white beans, 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to a food processor. Scrape in the cooled garlic-rosemary oil.
