Ingredients

  • 15 oz cannellini beans, canned drained and rinsed
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tsp rosemary, chopped fresh or 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 pinch salt season to taste
  • 1 loaf Italian bread or French baguette
  • 1 tomato diced to garnish

Instructions

  • Gently toss together beans, garlic, rosemary, olive oil, vinegar and red pepper flakes in a medium-size bowl, taking care not to break up the beans.
  • Let the mixture stand, covered, for 15-30 minutes at room temperature (only necessary if you want to let the flavors soak in).
  • In the meantime, slice bread into thick slices. Brush with olive oil and broil for 3 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
  • Spoon the beans onto the slices and serve at room temperature, garnish with diced tomatoes or pasta sauce for a pop of flavor.
