    Mini Marathon & White Bean Dip With Pita Chips

    I am on a blogging marathon again, starting today.  This is a mini marathon, a week long marathon, Feb 9th - Feb 15th, with a theme. My theme is starters and enjoy a virtual cocktail party, minus the cocktails, here at MySpicyKitchen. I am starting the first round of starters with some pita chips and white bean dip.

    I bookmarked this recipes years ago when I first saw it on food network and finally made it this Sunday. I substituted parsley with cilantro, oregano with rosemary and added some green chilies to spice it up. This goes to Sandhya's My Legume Love Affair #32, started by Susan of  The Well Seasoned Cooked.

    Total Time:18 - 22 minutes
    Preparation Time: 10 minutes
    Baking Time: 8 - 12 minutes
    Serves: 6

    Ingredients:
    For the dip -

    • 1 (15 oz) can Cannellini Beans
    • 2 Cloves Garlic
    • 2 tablespoon fresh Lemon Juice
    • ⅓ cup Olive Oil
    • 2 - 3 Green Chilies
    • ¼ cup fresh Italian Parsley Leaves Cilantro Leaves loosely packed
    • Salt
    • Black Pepper Powder

    For the chips -

    • 6 Pitas
    • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Rosemary
    • 4 tablespoon Oil
    • Salt
    • Pepper Powder

    White bean dip

    Preparation:

    • Preheat the oven to 400 F.  Line  a large baking tray with aluminum foil.  I used one large and one medium sized cookie sheets.
    • Drain and wash the beans.
    • Grind together beans, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cilantro, green chilies, salt and pepper powder in a food processor to a fine paste. Transfer to serving bowl.
    • Cut each pita bread into 8 - 12 wedges. Arrange them on large baking tray.
    • Mix together oil, salt, pepper powder and rosemary. Pour this over the pita bread and toss it so that all the wedges are coated well.
    • Bake in a preheated oven for 8 - 12 minutes until the pita is toasted and golden in color. I baked for 12 minutes and the chips were very crispy.
    • Serve the chips with bean dip.

      This is a marathon that is tougher than a regular one for me 🙂 Homemade pita chips are so much better than the store bought ones. Looking forward to your recipes.
