News You Can Bruise for 2008 November 21 (entry 1)

(2) Fri Nov 21 2008 22:49 Cannelini Bean Spread: This is a delicious garlicky recipe I reverse-engineered from Supper, an awesome Italian restaurant in the East Village.

• 1 can cannelini beans
• 1/2 head garlic, minced
• olive oil
• red pepper flakes
• salt

Mash it all together. Spread on bread. That's it. It's excellent. I never really cooked with cannelini beans before but I think they're a better all-purpose bean than kidney beans.

Red pepper flakes are like a miracle spice. I've taken to sautéeing vegetables in oil/butter and crushed pepper flakes as a lazy way to get salty greens into a meal.
