1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
To prepare dip, heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat and sauté garlic, stirring constantly, until garlic just begins to turn golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a processor, combine garlic-olive oil mixture, beans, lemon juice, and parsley. Process until smooth, slowly adding 1 to 2 tbsp. of water to obtain a thick yet creamy consistency. Season to taste at this point.
Transfer dip to bowl and garnish with paprika, or more parsley. Serve with cut up vegetables.
