Cannellini Herb Spread contributed by Chelsea Lincoln from the Bob's Red Mill kitchen

This creates a smooth spread which would be great for dipping crackers, chips, vegetables and more. Would also taste wonderful as a sandwich spread.

Ingredients:

1 cup dry Cannellini Beans  1/4 cup Olive Oil  2 Tb Lemon Juice  1 clove Garlic, minced  1 tsp Thyme  1 tsp Rosemary  1/2 tsp Sea Salt  1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Directions:

Soak the beans overnight. Drain and rinse the beans and put into a medium-sized saucepan. Add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour. Drain and rinse beans with cold water. Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Makes 20 - 2 Tablespoon servings.
