Welcome to Show and Tell Friday and Happy New Year! Today I'm breaking my own rules and sharing a recipe this week. My son made this for me when he was here visiting this week. It's an appetizer made with cannellini beans and spinach. It's not an exact recipe but here is how he made it.
1 can cannellini beans
1-2 cloves of minced garlic (or to taste)
a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
a splash of olive oil
red pepper flakes to taste
Mix all those together in a food processor. (We used a mini processor and it worked great). Toast a slice of french bread and spread the puree on top and then top with cooked fresh spinach and sprinkle with some red pepper flakes if you like! It tastes so much better than it looks! It's packed with so much flavor! Lauren really loved this as did some of her friends that were over that night.
Vince says he likes it better with sauteed kale on top rather than spinach but I love spinach so that's what we used!
