Method

Dip Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cannellini Beans

    Drain and rinse the cannellini beans under cold water to remove excess sodium. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Basil Oil

    In a blender, combine the chopped fresh basil leaves and olive oil. Blend until smooth and vibrant green. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a food processor, add the drained cannellini beans, preserved lemon, minced garlic, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until smooth.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Basil Oil

    While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the basil oil until the dip is creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Bread Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Hearth Bread

    Slice the hearth bread into thick slices (about 1-inch each). You can toast them lightly on a grill or in a toaster if desired.
