In a 10 inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add beans and season with salt and pepper.
Cook, stirring occasionally until the flavors meld -- 2-3 minutes. With the back of a spoon or spatula, smash about 1/2 cup of beans and stir until incorporated.

Transfer beans to a bowl and swirl with herb oil. Taste and adjust seasonings.
