Preparation

• In a frying pan over medium heat, stir half the olive oil and the 2 cloves garlic for about one minute, until garlic is fragrant but not browned.
• Pour the oil and garlic into a food processor. Wipe out the pan and set aside.
• Add white beans, lemon juice, and salt to the food processor and process until smooth. Pour into a serving bowl.
• Return the frying pan to medium heat and add the remaining olive oil and the rosemary sprigs.
• Warm the rosemary in the olive oil until fragrant, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally so the rosemary doesn't burn.
• Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes. Discard the rosemary and drizzle the olive oil over the bean dip.
