Steps:
- In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes and saute for 2-3 minutes on medium until slightly soft.
- Add the beans, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Increase heat to medium high and cook for about 4-5 minutes. While they are cooking, mash about half of the beans with a fork until they reach the consistency that you prefer.
- If you would like, you can garnish with some additional olive oil and ground pepper.
SPICY BEAN TURNOVERS (WITH VARIATIONS)
Our family loves these little 'mock hotpockets' and they come together really quickly. Add a side of salsa & fat-free sour cream for an easy, healthy lunch, or serve as an appetizer. There are many variations for these and they would be great for a lunchbox. These can be baked, then frozen, and reheated in the microwave. Adapted from an idea I saw in Quick Cooking that called for a can of bean dip in place of the bean mixture I use.
