Recipe: White Bean Spread with Garlic and Rosemary

WHITE BEAN SPREAD WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 medium garlic cloves
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1 (16 ounces) can white beans, undrained

Place olive oil, garlic, and rosemary in a 10-inch skillet and heat over medium heat until ingredients start to sizzle.

Add beans and their liquid and cook, mashing with a wooden spoon or potato masher, until mixture thickens slightly (it will thicken more as it cools).

Transfer to a serving bowl or a storage container.
