You may recall all the beans I cooked the other day that I was afraid were going to escape from the crock pot. I froze a few, but the rest I decided to make into a sandwich spread based on a recipe I found at myrecipes.com.
It was easy enough to do while I was spending hours trying to make ginger lime marmalade which was not an easy task and I’ll have to tell you about tomorrow, after I get a chance to unblock the process from my memory and taste it. DH was a wee bit disappointed that I didn’t make my Dark Days Shepherd’s Pie tonight, but screw it. I can only do so much.
So anyway, about the sandwich.
It consisted of the following:
- 1 T of jarred roasted garlic. I told you I was in a hurry up mode tonight.
- 1 T fresh squeezed lemon juice. Since I have 4 zested lemons from the marmalade, I thought I’d put them to good use.
- 1/2 T olive oil
- 1 /2 T tahini (sesame-seed paste)
- 1/4 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp Sriracha (hot sauce)
- 4 cups of the Great Northern beans from the other night.
- salt to taste
Blend in a food processor. Serve on Ezekiel sprouted grain bread or, as DH discovered, on pretzels.
The verdict: YUM! Fast. Easy. DH’s coworkers are not going to appreciate the fact that he had another bowl of Dilly Bean soup along with it. I might even make it again on Saturday when he has his brew day. That’s when all the guys come over and they roast a big hunk of meat in DH’s roaster and brew beer.

This is pretty cool.
I’m on the WIC program, and I end up getting a LOT of beans. I swear, I have beans filling up almost an entire shelf because honestly, I don’t know how to cook them except with hamhocks and make bean soup.
I’ll have to try something like this.
I know, soup is what I know too – hoping to find more good recipes though because they really are a very healthy food. Thanks for stopping by!
I love this simple recipe, I love hummus and I think this would work out nicely instead.
I’m going to have to try this. I have a favorite hummus recipe and a nice white bean rosemary soup, but always looking for new bean recipes that are great. bet my kids would eat it w/ popcorn!
