Instructions
- Prepare Station
Gather all ingredients; set out a saucepan, colander, frying pan, knife, cutting board, spatula, bowl, and immersion blender. · 5 min
What to look for: Ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.
- Soften Beans
Boil the white beans in their cooking liquid until very soft, then drain through a colander and reserve 120 ml of the liquid. · 8 min
What to look for: Beans look plump and crush easily against the spoon.
- Fry Aromatics
Fry the onion in olive oil for 3 minutes, add garlic, and cook 1 minute more without letting the garlic brown. · 4 min
What to look for: Onion is glossy and soft, while garlic stays pale and fragrant.
- Blend Paste
Blend the drained beans with the fried onion, garlic, warm olive oil, and lemon juice until the paste looks smooth. · 3 min
What to look for: Paste is pale, creamy, and mostly free of visible bean skins.
- Adjust Texture
Add reserved bean liquid 15 ml at a time and blend briefly until the paste is soft, thick, and easy to spread. · 2 min
What to look for: Paste holds its shape but spreads smoothly across the bowl.
- Season Spread
Season with salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary, then stir well and taste for a balanced, gently herbal finish. · 2 min
What to look for: Rosemary flecks are evenly distributed through the creamy paste.
- Serve Cold
Serve the bean paste cold or at room temperature as a Polish supper spread while the rosemary aroma is still fresh. · 1 min
What to look for: Spread is smooth, thick, and ready to spoon from the bowl.

Ingredient substitutions
White bean
- Canned white bean: Drain and reserve the can liquid for thinning the paste.
Garlic
- Onion: Use only when a milder, less garlicky spread is needed.
Lemon juice
- White bean cooking liquid: It will thin the paste but will not give the same bright acidity.
Olive oil
- Mild olive oil: Choose a milder oil if the olive flavor is too strong.
Fresh rosemary
- Black pepper: This keeps the spread seasoned but removes the piney herbal note.
Onion
- Garlic: Use sparingly, because garlic is sharper than fried onion.
