Quick White Bean Dip

We will leave for Oregon this Saturday morning. The kitchen is being prepared for the long months away. The refrigerator, the freezer and the pantry all need to be cleaned out. My days are very full. There is much to do with work, family and responsibilities. Not sure I will get everything done, but as time whittles down I start prioritizing.......I am starting to get very excited.

Normally I snack and eat little bits of food all day long. Creativity is certainly becoming my friend with the cupboards so bare. A can of white beans, a little garlic, lemon, rosemary and olive oil and I now have this dip. Add a few crackers and some fruit and I'm all set.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 14.5 ounce can organic white beans (liquid drained and rinsed)
1/2 clove garlic (grated)
1 sprig rosemary
1/4 lemon juiced
1 tablespoon water or more if needed
Salt and pepper to taste

To prepare:

In a small sauce pot on medium high heat add olive oil then beans, garlic and rosemary sprig, turn down heat and simmer on low 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove the rosemary. Add lemon juice. Depending on the consistency add water. Taste, then season with salt and pepper as needed. Blend with boat motor until creamy, leaving some beans for texture. Enjoy!
