Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup dried great Northern beans, soaked overnight
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
- 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
- White truffle oil, as needed
- 1 loaf bread, such as ciabatta or baguette, sliced and lightly toasted
Directions
In a large pot, combine the broth, beans, garlic, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the beans are tender, about 45 minutes.
Season the beans, to taste, with salt and pepper. Cool in the liquid. Drain the beans, reserving the garlic cloves.
Place the beans in a bowl and coarsely mash with a potato masher. Add 2 to 3 cloves of garlic and continue mashing. Mash in the olive oil, but keep the mixture fairly coarse. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the scallions and parsley. Spoon into a serving bowl and drizzle with white truffle oil. Serve with a basket of crisp toasts and the bottle of truffle oil, for more drizzling.

Made this for a party and it just didn't look good. I suppose running the beans through the food processor would have made the whole thing more attractive, but as it was, people thought it was chopped fish on toast--eew. Flavors were good though.

I have made this quite a few times for quests and each time it was completely devoured and everyone loved it. I made the recipe once with a can of Cannellini Beans (washed as I didn't have the time to soak the dried beans overnight and it was equally as good!
But you cannot replace the Truffle Oil - that is the true flavor - and Truffle Oil is not cheap but a little goes a long way and worth the purchase!
