I thought that this would be a quick, easy and flavorful addition to a restricted diet. However, white beans are not allowed to be combined with garlic for the patient I had in mind. I also felt that the original recipe called for too much olive oil. The following is my modified version with some proposed ingredient alternatives:
White Bean Mash1 can (19 fl. oz.) white beans, drained and rinsed (or try 1-2 boiled or roasted parsnips)
2 shallots
½ - 1 tsp sea salt
¼ cup olive oil
1 Tbsp fresh thyme (or ¼ tsp of dried thyme)
1. Blend everything together in a bowl until it has the consistency of mashed potatoes.
Use as a spread, dip or serve with salmon, potatoes or wild rice. [AP: This is an Option #1 recipe and the serving suggestions are also Option #1.]

Loved it! 10 times better than hummus! Pedar really enjoyed it too and had it as a snack spread on his special bread or crackers. The consistency wasn't thick; it was something between hummus and baba ghanoush and I remember thinking how tasty it is even though it didn't have any sort of sour ingredients which is something Persians are into.
