Ingredients

  • 15 ounces canned reduced-sodium white beans

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or 1/8 teaspoon dried)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 5 basil leaves

Preparation

  1. Mince the garlic clove. Place beans in a colander and rinse and drain well.
  2. In a medium size pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over low-medium heat. Add garlic and turn heat to low.
  3. Add in red pepper flakes and dried rosemary. Stir together until garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add beans and stir to combine.
  5. Transfer bean mixture to a food processor and pulse. Add in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water as needed for preferred consistency.
  6. Remove mixture from processor and place in a bowl.
  7. Garnish with remaining olive oil and basil leaves.

Helpful hints

  • Replace the rosemary and basil with any other preferred herbs of choice.
  • Can be served warm, cold or at room temperature.
  • White beans include cannellini beans, great northern beans and navy beans.
  • Substitute boiled white beans for canned beans if desired.
  • A 15 ounce can of white beans yields 10.5 ounces after beans are rinsed and drained.
