Butter Bean Mash
Description
The recipe begins by draining and rinsing canned butter beans. Onion is sautéed in olive oil until golden, and garlic is briefly cooked to soften. Beans, salt, pepper, paprika, and boiled water are then simmered briefly with the aromatics.
Everything is combined in a blender or food processor and pureed into a smooth, creamy paste. The resulting mash has mild vegetal sweetness from the beans complemented by the warmth of paprika and garlic. The olive oil adds richness and smoothness.
This mash can be served either warm or cold, making it versatile for different meals. Sprigs of rosemary provide a fragrant garnish. The recipe suggests that other canned beans like cannellini or black beans can be used successfully as well.

Instructions
