Added another can of beans, drained, and tripled spices in hopes of ressurrecting it. I think it would be fine if you drain the beans initially....

Seriously inexpensive and EASY! Also supper addictive. I used basil instead of rosemary, which of course altered the flavor.... but YUM.

I had high hopes for this, but I found it to be a bit bland. I probably would not make it again.

Definitely needs more oomph - I'd double spices, add some heat, like crushed red pepper. I like the concept, so I'm going to experiment with it.

Not much flavor. I added cumin and crushed red pepper.

I added the garlic and rosemary to simmering beans (19oz cannelini was all I had), put the lid on and forgot about it for about 10 minutes. When I came back and removed the lid the smell was incredible! No need for the EVOO or salt/pepper. Fast, easy and filling.

This spread is so easy to put together...but the finished dip was so delicious that I was surprised! I had been planning to make hummus, but accidentally opened a can of white beans instead of a can of garbanzo beans (duh) so I had to come up with a different recipe for a bean dip to use them up. This one fit the bill! I had already drained the beans before I realized that I wasn't supposed to (another duh!) so I just added some water instead. Because I had drained the salt away with the liquid, I had to add a little more salt to the finished dip. I think the only way to improve the recipe would be to mince the garlic before it goes into the pan...mine took a while to cook down to be soft enough to mash. The flavors of rosemary and garlic really taste great together in this dish. Thanks for sharing the recipe!!!

This is an easy, yummy dish to prepare; and your guests will ask for the recipe over and over. 4 Simple flavorful ingredients make a fabulous & healthy dip. I have made this 5 times already, and everyone wants the recipe! PLUS, it freezes! make extra, because you can't beat that convenience!

This was excellent! I used it to stuff baked zucchini (topped with fresh parmesan) for a more robust vegetarian baked zuke, which was delicious, and then my boyfriend ate the leftover spread straight from the container... I think it's his favorite of all the dishes I've ever made. I used 3 medium to large minced garlic cloves and about 3 teaspoons of rosemary.
