Serves: 4

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

What You Need

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for garnish
4 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces white button mushrooms, chopped fine
2 (15.5 ounce) cans cannellini beans (white kidney beans), drained, but not rinsed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Flaked sea salt for garnish

What You Do

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, cook, stirring often, just until it turns golden, but not brown, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and transfer half the garlic and oil to a food processor and leave the remaining in the skillet.
Return the heat to medium-high. Add the mushrooms and cook until dark brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Add the beans, chives, salt, pepper, and paprika to the food processor. Pulse 8 to 10 times in short bursts until the beans are chopped, but thick and chunky. Remove the blade and stir in the yogurt.
Transfer to a serving plate or shallow bowl. Top with the mushrooms. Drizzle with more olive oil. Then garnish with parsley and flaked sea salt before serving.
