White Bean Spread
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup red onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 1 can cannellini beans rinsed & drained
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder mild
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil finely chopped
- ciabatta bread
- garlic cloves Whole
- Mix all of the ingredients except basil in a food processer until the mixture becomes a slightly chunky puree. Transfer to a bowl and stir in basil. Season to taste.
- This can also be served warm by sauteing the beans, onions and garlic in the olive oil for 3 to 4 minutes before processing.
- For the toast, I thinly sliced Ciabatta bread and baked at 300 for 7 to 10 minutes on each side. It is crunchy but not brown. Then I rubbed the warm bread with a fresh garlic clove. It has a hint of flavor that is no over-powering.
