SERVES: 4
Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 -12 ounces fresh spinach
- 1 ²⁄3 cups cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
-
In a large non-stick skillet, heat one teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add half the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to one minute.
-
Add half of the spinach and cook until fully wilted, about 2 to 5 minutes. Remove spinach to a bowl to cool, and repeat the whole process with another teaspoon of olive oil and the remaining halves of the garlic and spinach.
-
Combine the remaining olive oil, spinach, beans, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a food processor. If it doesn’t fit at first, pulse a few times with half of the spinach, and then add the rest.
-
Blend until mixture is to the consistency you like. Serve with veggies, pita, or in a wrap.
