This warm butter beans with rosemary and garlic recipe is delicious, super-easy, and yes, good for you. You can substitute other fresh herbs for the rosemary, if desired.
You can either serve this as bruschetta with the beans
dished up on toast that has been rubbed with the cut side of a clove of garlic.
Alternatively, serve the beans in the middle of the table with bread on the side
so your guests can help themselves.
I’ve made this with cannellini beans and butter beans and I
have a slight preference for the slightly larger, firmer butter beans. Borlotti
beans would also work well as would chickpeas.
