How to Make Tuscan White Bean Spread

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. While the onions and garlic are cooking, rinse and drain one 15-ounce can of cannellini beans.
  4. Add the cooked onion and garlic to a food processor along with the drained beans, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  5. Puree all ingredients until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried sage (or 1 tablespoon fresh) and season generously with sea salt.
  7. Add a splash of water at a time if needed to reach your desired consistency.
