I'm convinced that this is the best all-around recipe I've ever tried. I'm willing to eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and anything else. The bean spread is good hot and cold. My rating: 5 out of 5.
Cannellini Bean Spread
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2 roma tomatoes, diced
15.5 oz can cannellini beans

Drain beans and rinse twice using cold water. Add beans to pot. Add salt and pepper. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes.

Pour the entire mixture into a blender and pulse very lightly.
Cool in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
