Ingredients · 4 servings

  • 700 gWhite bean, cooked until very soft
  • 3 cloveGarlic, minced
  • 30 mlLemon juice
  • 60 mlOlive oil
  • 4 gFresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1Onion, diced
  • 1 tspSalt
  • ½ tspBlack pepper, ground

Equipment

stovetop, immersion blender, digital scale, saucepan, colander, measuring cup, frying pan, knife, cutting board, spatula, mixing bowl, measuring spoon

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
