Ingredients
Instructions
Sauté the Aromatics
Heat the butter or olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Combine and Blend
In a food processor or a bowl (if using an immersion blender), combine the rinsed and drained white beans with the sautéed onion and garlic mixture.
Create the Spread
Blend the ingredients until you reach your desired consistency. For a completely smooth spread, process for a longer time. For a more rustic, chunky texture, pulse just a few times. If using, add the optional cream cheese or mayonnaise and blend again until just combined.
Season and Serve
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl. Season generously with salt and black pepper to your liking. Stir in the fresh chives or parsley.
Enjoy
Serve the bean spread at room temperature with toasted rye bread, fresh crusty bread, or an assortment of raw vegetables for dipping.
