Apparently the magic in this simple recipe is letting the oil and other ingredients mingle at room temp for a bit. Also, It's probably due to the 3/4 cup of olive oil, but this recipe is nice and savory. You can pretty much use whatever bean you want (I made this with white beans the other day, and I was short a 1/2 celery rib so I used half a green onion - crazy, I know. Read more ..). See less
