Roasted Tomato Bean Dip
You can never have too many hor d'oeuvre recipes, so give Roasted Tomato Bean Dip If you have balsamic vinegar, medium-large tomatoes, garlic, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free and vegan diet. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 40 minutes.
Instructions
Sprinkle each slice with garlic, using only half of the garlic.
Add a sprinkling of black pepper, oregano, and salt to the top of each slice. (You can also add olive oil, but I resisted the temptation.)
Place in the oven for about 30 minutes, until tomatoes are totally cooked but are not burning.
Remove from oven to cool (or use warm and then chill the dip after preparing).
Place the remaining garlic into the food processor along with the chickpeas, vinegar, and roasted tomatoes. Blend well.
Add the basil leaves and salt, if you like, and blend again.
Serve chilled with vegetables or crackers for dipping. Also makes a good sandwich spread or salad dressing.
