Method:

3.    Remove the garlic from the oven and let cool. Remove the roasted cloves of garlic and place in the bowl of a food processor.
4.    Combine the remaining olive oil, beans, vinegar and thyme leaves with the garlic and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5.    Place in your Gourmet du Village Dip Chiller and serve with pita crisps.
