Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 3 large garlic cloves (chopped)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 16 oz roughly chopped button mushrooms
  • 16 oz cooked cannellini beans
  • 1/4 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • to taste salt and pepper

Instruction

  • In a large saucepan, saute onion and garlic with olive oil on medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to high, add mushrooms and cook for about 15 minutes, until the liquid is completely evaporated and the mushrooms start turning brown. Season the mushrooms with salt, pepper and Italian herbs. Reserve some of the fried mushrooms for later to garnish the spread. (If following the above proportions, you should reserve about 1/3 of a cup).
  • Place the rest of the mushrooms and cannellini beans into a food processor and pulse for a few seconds until the mixture looks smooth, but still a little chunky.
  • Transfer the spread onto a plate and top with the reserved mushrooms.
