Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 15.5 ounces cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large red bell pepper
  • 4 ounces block feta, broken into chunks, about 1/2 cup, plus additional for serving
  • 3 tablespoons fresh basil, torn
  • 1 large garlic clove, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more if you like it spicy
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare your grill for direct grilling and allow it to preheat to between 400-425 degrees. Make sure your grates are clean.
  2. Place the red pepper on the hot grates. Rotate the pepper every couple of minutes until all sides are charred. Place the pepper in a zip top bag and allow it to cool and steam.
  3. Brush the skin off from the cooled pepper and remove the seeds. Cut into rough chunks.
  4. Add all of the ingredients to a food processor except for the salt and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. With the processor still running drizzle in the olive oil.
  6. Taste and add salt if needed.
  7. For the best texture and flavor, allow the dip to refrigerate for an hour. It will thicken up as it chills.
  8. To serve, garnish with additional feta, crushed red pepper flakes, and basil if desired. Serve with your favorite dippers or use as a spread. 

Notes

  1. You can use goat cheese instead of feta if desired.
  2. Instead of grilling your pepper you can roast it in the oven, under the broiler, in a dry skillet, or on a grill pan.
  3. Feel free to use jarred roasted red bell peppers. The flavor will be slightly different because of the brine. You’ll need about 1/2 cup.
