    Recipe Introduction

    Delicious! This was so easy and so good. If you like hummus, you'll like this - it is similar but different, too and wonderful.

    List of Ingredients

    1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
    2 cloves garlic
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    1/3 cup olive oil, plus 4 tablespoons
    1/4 cup (loosely packed) fresh Italian parsley leaves
    Salt
    Freshly ground black pepper
    6 pitas
    1 teaspoon dried oregano

    Recipe

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
    Place the beans, garlic, lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, and parsley in the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the bean puree to a small bowl.

    Cut each pita in half and then into 8 wedges. Arrange the pita wedges on a large baking sheet. Pour the remaining oil over the pitas. Toss and spread out the wedges evenly. Sprinkle with the oregano, salt, and pepper. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until toasted and golden in color.

    Serve the pita toasts warm or at room temperature alongside the bean puree.

    Serves 6.
