How to Make Bean And Ham Dip With Garlic And Rosemary

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a food processor, combine 2 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped), 1/2 small onion (roughly chopped), 1 cup cooked ham (diced), and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
3. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
4. Add 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans (drained and rinsed), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
5. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil until the dip reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency (about 1 minute).
6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, add more olive oil for a smoother consistency or more red pepper flakes for extra heat.
7. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. If you prefer a warmer dip, transfer it to an oven-safe dish and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
8. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers: thick-cut potato chips, pita chips, or toasted baguette slices.
