David's White Bean and Sun-Dried Tomato Dip

All righty, David Venable, y'all

In the kitchen with David. So what are you going to make me, honey? White bean and sun-dried tomato dip with some garlic in it

And we're going to serve it with toasted pita. This is a super easy recipe. It's one I affectionately like to call a dump and stir

Because what you're going to do is put all your ingredients inside the process. And my friends out there love them, too

because a lot of them have young children and jobs and all that

Right. We're going to begin with a can of cannellini beans. Now, these are white kidney beans

So what we're going to do is open these up, open these up, and we're going to rinse and drain

these. Okay, you just want this maybe like cutting triangles for dipping. That would be perfect. Now, I'm

going to rinse these off. They're usually packed in water, and they've got just a little bit of that film on them

and get these right into the food processor. Hey, and you know what else you put in here to add a little pop of

color and some flavors? Some sun-dried tomatoes. These are packed in olive oil. All right, now I'm separating this, Peter

What we're going to do is take this and actually turn these out on some paper towels and pat

them dry. Okay. Because remember, the food processor is going to do all the heavy lifting. David, I know

that you're used to anywhere from a two minute to an eight minute sales segment But I can slow down a little bit But we have a little bit more time than that Well let me just relax and tell you a little bit about my bean dip

All right, so we've got our cannellini beans all rinsed and popped inside

We've got our sun-dried tomatoes, but I need some garlic there, my friend. Oh, you do

Can you help me out? Oh, my gosh, yes. Yeah, so we just, now these will be whole, so you just peel those off

We can pop those right inside. If you can chop me some fresh rosemary

Okay, how much? Rosemary is my favorite, favorite herb. Is it? I'm just a little bunch there

You know, I keep rosemary growing in my yard. They make the most beautiful bushes

And they go with so much. I'm going to borrow your jar, David

Yes, ma'am. And I'm going to pour... Eyeball some olive oil? Yes, just in here so I can brush it on

Because what we want to do with the pita chips is just brush those lightly with some olive oil. Uh-oh, I thought that jar had a bigger mouth

You know what? I think you and I both take care of the big mouth department. I know

And I'm going to have to find me a bigger mouth. One thing I'm going to do is add a little lemon juice to my dip

I going to add just a little tiny pinch of cayenne Now a little bit of onion powder Put that as well Yes So we got just about everything all taken care of Oh a little salt and pepper Thank you ma

Appreciate that. All right, now, I'm going to get these in the oven, and we're going to toast them probably for about 10 minutes, David, on 350

Until they're brown and crispy. Just until they're crispy, y'all. You go. And we'll get this going

Do you need any chives for anything? You know what? You can put some chives in there for some colors

Well, I was thinking I would just kind of put it on our platter. And you know what

We'll add some olive oil here. I was thinking, my goodness, that is not nearly as creamy as it ought to be

I'm a jolly ball. It's got about a quarter cup. And look at that

Love the color. And let's see. Ready? Let me help you there

There we are. You can put this in the refrigerator a day or two in advance. It'll just keep marinating in all those flavors

How's that? It's so good. How about if I try to sell this

Well, you have put me on the spot today. I think it's your turn. Here we go, y'all

I have a fabulous healthy bean dip with sun tomatoes It item number 502 Oh I see the numbers They turning They turning We down to two jars

So do call in for your white cantaloni bean and sun dried tomatoes

Full of garlic and good magnesium. And iron. And iron. And folate

And folate. What is folate? I don't know. I don't either. And guess what

Sold out. You know what? Anytime you need a second job, you call us

We'll put you on the air. You know what? A little lemon on there? I'm going to squirt a little, little lemon juice

Okay, our chips should be ready. You want to get those out of the oven? Sure. And I want to sample this bean dip from David's cookbook

And if you want to dress these pita chips up a little bit, you can do that as well. Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on these. Okay

And they look really pretty. And when you do little triangles like this, It just gives you a chance to hold the short end and use the other like a big scoop

That's right. What do you think, sugar pie? Delicious. Mmm
