Garlicky Heirloom Bean Spread

This is a delicious hummus like spread. Instead of using garbanzo beans, this spread has a mix of heirloom beans. These beans were originally dry beans that were soaked for 12 hours and then simmered until tender.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups heirloom beans
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter (we only had chunky)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 tablespoon lime juice

In a food processor, puree the heirloom beans until mostly smooth. Add peanut butter and olive oil and pulse to combine. Add water a tablespoon at a time until smooth, there may be a little extra water or you may need a little more). Once smooth add the mustard, garlic and lime juice and puree again until smooth consistency. Serve immediately or let set in the fridge for the garlic flavor to deepen.
