Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and rosemary and cook until very fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic brown. Remove from heat.
  2. Place the beans in a small bowl. Add the oil and season to taste with the salt and pepper. Using the back of a spoon, smash the beans to form a very rough paste. Add more olive oil if necessary.
  3. Drizzle with additional oil, sprinkle with more salt and pepper, and serve with slices of bread. (This can be made 2 to 3 days in advance and kept in the freezer for up to 2 months.)

Quick Tip

Cans of beans with can opener
Beans made from scratch have better flavor, but the cooking can take hours. Canned beans are a solid alternative, if you rinse and drain them well.
