This recipe is easy! So easy that I didn’t even put photos of all the steps. It’s one of those “let’s put all the ingredients in a food processor and be done with it” kind of spreads.

 

 

Last year, I bought a Mediterranean cookbook from Amazon and this recipe was adapted from that book. It is quite a big book with many recipes and yet I always feel the need to do some changes in the recipes; not because I feel like making my own twists, but because the taste is not exactly there when you use the exact measurements.

 

 

 

For instance, for this recipe, I increased the amount of rosemary significantly: I tripled it! I also increased the amount of garlic.

 

 

I used cannellini bean in this recipe, but you can use any type of white bean really. And if you feel like increasing rosemary, garlic or spices even more, just do it. This recipe is very easy to change according to your wishes and taste. Enjoy!
