Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove 1 clove of garlic from the head; peel

papery skin from the garlic head and slice 1/2 inch off the top. Wrap in
aluminum foil and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until
croutons are crisp and golden. Remove the croutons and set aside. Continue

Unwrap and let cool for 5 minutes. Separate the garlic cloves and squeeze
ut the pulp into a smal bowl; mash with a fork. Whisk in lemon juice,
vegetable stock, oil, mustard and cayenne.

In a medium sized bowl, combine beans, red peppers, chives or scallion
