2 whole heads of garlic

Two 15.5-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

One 15.5-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Remove the white papery skin from the garlic heads, wrap each head separately in foil. Bake for 1 hour; cool 10 minutes.

put the chickpeas in a food processor and pulse 4 or 5 times until chopped. Add 1/2 cup of water, the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper and pulse until smooth, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the work bowl. Leave the hummus in the food processor. When the garlic is cool enough to handle, separate the cloves and squeeze them to extract the pulp. Discard the skins. Add the garlic to the hummus along with the white beans and 1/4 cup of water. Pulse 4 or 5 times until chopped. Stir in the rosemary. There is about 45 calories and 2 grams of fat per 2 1/2 tablespoon serving.
