White Bean Spread

Number of servings: 8
Estimated Prep Time: 10 minutes

Instead of dried basil, you can use double the amount of fresh. Or use another herb such as thyme or chives.

Use this as a spread for parties, accompanied by melba toast or crackers or savoury biscuits.

Great to have on hand in the fridge as part of a quick, salad-plate type meal.

You can store covered in fridge for up to 4 days. Tastes even better after the first day.

Ingredients

2 cups White Kidney Beans (cooked, drained)

1/2 cup Olive Oil

2 tablespoons Basil (dried)

2 cloves Garlic (peeled)

1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Directions

Add all ingredients except half the olive oil to food processor; whiz until you have a smooth paste. Add as much of the reserved olive oil as is needed to make it easily spreadable.
