Instructions

To take the bite out of the garlic and amplify the flavor, microwave 4 smashed + minced cloves 1/2 cup of olive oil. You can also sauté them stove-top.
In a food processor, combine beans, lemon garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, thyme and pulse until well blended. For an even creamier dip, add some extra EVOO and blend.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, as well as any additional oregano... let your taste buds be your guide!
Toss tomatoes and basil in a drizzle of EVOO and toss.
Spread bean mixture onto a shallow bowl or plate and top with tomatoes and basil.
Sprinkle with paprika and serve with freshly warmed pita bread, pita chips, and/or assorted veggies for dipping.
