White Bean Dip

Two to three cups of cooked navy or Great Northern beans (or a can of beans, rinsed).
Two tbls olive oil
One small onion, finely minced.
Two or three cloves garlic, pressed or one tbls mince garlic (add more if you like garlic. I used about 2 tbls).
Spices to taste. I used a little sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, ground chipotle chile, Mexican oregano and ground thyme. A little cumin would be good, too.

Heat up the oil in a skillet, add onions and cook till they start to get soft. Add the garlic and cook another minute or two until soft and fragrant. Add spices and stir well.

At this point you can add the beans to the skillet (like I did) or you can add the beans to a food processor and pour the onion mixture on top and blend until semi smooth. I just put the beans in on top of the onions and used a potato masher to smash the beans up a bit.

Taste, adjust seasonings as needed. I left the beans to simmer a bit of the liquid out so the dip would thicken up a bit. At the end I added some shredded farmers cheese just to make it a little yummier, but it was quite good without the cheese.
