White Bean Spread
Course Appetizer
Cuisine Beans
- 2 cups Canned White Beans (Cannellini or Navy) rinsed and drained
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Rosemary (or half the amount Dried Rosemary)
- salt and pepper to taste
Drain liquid from canned beans, leaving liquid on the side.
Place beans in a large bowl with olive oil, lemon juice and rosemary.
Using hand immersion blender or regular blender, blend mixture, adding about 2 Tbsp of reserved liquid as blending.
Blend until mixture is smooth. (You may need to add a bit more olive oil as you go, depending on your preference for a smoother, creamier texture.) Serve immediately or refrigerate.
