White Bean Extravaganza

Ha!  ...Not really an extravaganza...but still pretty exciting to me! haha

I cooked white beans the other day and made a simple edamame and bean salad.  I tossed them with Italian salt and a drizzled of olive oil.  So simple but delicious! 




Then I decided to make a bean dip.  Something to go with the wheat bread I had just made.

cooked white beans, with cooking liquid reserved in a seperate container
olive oil
garlic
onion
parsley
srachia sauce
Salt and pepper

Saute garlic and onions in a bit of oil.  Cook until tender.  In food processor add beans, garlic and onion. Puree until coarse. Add a drizzle of olive oil, parley and salt and pepper .  Pulse a couple of times to mix in.  Puree until smooth adding bean liquid as needed to get the desired consistency. 
I added about a tablespoon of srachia because I love it!  lol



I had a little of each at seperate times and then thought why not together for supper!  Genius eh!?  lol  I toasted a couple of slices of bread and sliced some mixed peppers.  It was a great supper....light but still very filling.



Doesn't that dip look yummy.  I added just enough srachia to give it a bit of kick.
