We used 1/2 tsp of fresh rosemary and 2 tsp of jarred minced garlic (mccormick california style). We absolutely loved it! Even better with a little black pepper on top. Would make a yummy side dish served warm. Served warm it tasted like healthy mashed potatoes substitute.

Very easy but on it's own quite bland. Is a good base for experimentation, though.

Very easy to make, wow! I gave it an average score though because I have had better white bean dip. However, you can't beat the ease of this recipe. I served with toasted pita chips.

Tasty and easy. I used dried rosemary and it worked just fine. It's good on pitas and whole wheat tortillas.

Sorry, we didn't like this. The rosemary was overpowering and it was pretty tasteless. I kept adding more ingredients like salt, parm, marinated artichokes, and hot pepper trying to get it right, but I think it was strong rosemary taste that ruined it from the beginning.

I am always looking for something healthy to dip vegetables in. This is a great recipe. I made just a few small changes. I didn't have fresh rosemary so I added 1 tbsp. dried leaves. I also added some roasted garlic and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste.

As other members mentioned, with all the liquid from the can, it will not be very thick like a spread. I used half of the liquid, which was slightly tomato flavored and salted already. I think this is a versatile recipe as well, as I'm sure other herbs could be substituted for a tasty variation.

This spread is super simple and fast! I've always added some extra roasted garlic, and a little salt, to add more flavor, and then serve the spread on toasted baguette or pita chips.

This did not thicken as you would think - so less liquid is a must

This recipe is really good and super easy. Things I did... I sauteed the garlic in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. I added the drained beans and sauteed them a little bit. I added a 1/4 cup of white wine. Warm through and then added to the food processor and pulsed. I also added about 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese in the processor. Used this on crusty Italian bread. I topped some with hot peppers to add a little heat and those were the best ones!!! Very easy recipe to make and different from the usual appetizers you put out. Thanks

This is actually white bean hummus. We did NOT like it the way the recipe was written. We tried our best to "doctor" it up but even with more garlic, more salt, more pepper, addition of parsley, chicken bouillon, roasted red bell peppers... tasting and adding every step of the way we were unable to make this work. I keep thinking that maybe it would have tasted better if it sat a day or two for the flavors to marry.

This is a good recipe, but next time I'll change some things. It did not come out thick like a spread, so I will reduce the liquid. Also, I will blend the beans in the food processor rather than do all that mashing. I thought that was a lot of needless work. Also, the garlic needs to be minced before putting it in the pan. It does not soften quickly enough to mash. The recipe needed a little salt, and I added a little extra garlic powder. Then it tasted good. This is a nice recipe to have on hand. Thanks.

An easy and tasty dip. I used dried rosemary, but followed everything else. A nice recipe to keep handy when you're in need of a party dip at the last minute!

I did not care for this. All you could taste was the rosemary which was not a good combo with the beans. Nice idea, but lose the rosemary

One of our local restaurants makes a dip very similar to this. My husband liked this one better. I wasn't quite as impressed as he was, but I did like it.

What a great idea -- a dip made by mashing the beans while they're simmering. Anything to avoid dragging out/cleaning up the food processor! I used fresh rosemary from my garden and added 1/8 cube of Knorr's vegetable stock to enhance the flavor. Very easy to make, economical, and also nice to have a dairy-free dip to balance out whatever else you are serving that has cheese in it.

Very good - it was a hit. The only thing I'd change is maybe reducing the rosemary a little bit. That ended up being a very powerful taste. Otherwise, great!

I didn't add the juice from the beans (gross!) Instead I rinsed them as usual and subbed some white wine and water. Used as a spread on grilled vegetable and chicken wraps. Yummy, healthy -a new favourite for sure. Thanks for the recipe!
