White Bean Dip with Pita Chips
- 4 pita breads, split horizontally in half
- 2 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
- 1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup (loosely packed) fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut each pita half into 8 wedges.
- Arrange the pita wedges evenly over a large baking sheet.
- Brush the pita wedges with 2 tablespoons of the oil, then sprinkle with the oregano and 1 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then turn the pita wedges over and bake until they are crisp and golden, about 8 minutes longer.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of a food processor, combine the beans, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
- Pulse on and off until the mixture is coarsely chopped.
- With the machine running, gradually mix in the remaining 1/3 cup of oil until the mixture is creamy.
- Season the puree with more salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the puree to a small bowl and serve the pita toasts warm or at room temperature alongside.
- (The pita wedges and bean puree can be made 1 day ahead.
- Store the pita wedges airtight at room temperature.
- Cover and refrigerate the bean puree.)
