Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 150 degrees celcius (This is in preparation to crisp up your focaccia later on..!)
  2. Now the fun begins! Grab your food processor or blender, and add 4 or 5 table spoons of extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Then, add your garlic.
  4. Add ½ of each can of beans.
  5. Turn the food processor on and start blending!
  6. If the mixture is too dense, slowly add ½ glass of water and mix once again for at least a full minute.
  7. Add parsley and basil to the mixture and fire it up once again for an additional minute or so.
  8. Now, it’s time to add your remaining beans and a pinch of salt, blend once again and your dip is almost perfect!
  9. Finally, grate some fresh parmesan into the mix, for a final kick of flavour along with 1 ½ tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  10. Now, place the whole focaccia into the oven for around 2 minutes.
  11. Blast your mix for one more minute and your bean dip will be ready and smelling delicious!
  12. Grab a chopping board and remove the bread from the oven, careful not to burn yourself.
  13. The bread should be nice and crunchy – if not, leave it in the oven for just a little longer, but make sure it doesn’t go hard.
  14. Now, slice your bread into small strips.
  15. E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!
