 Categories: Beans, Vegetables, Herbs, Citrus
      Yield: 3 servings

MMMMM--------------------------HERB OIL-------------------------------
    1/2 c  Rough chopped chives
    1/2 c  Rough chopped cilantro
           - leaves and tender stems
    1/2 c  Tight packed basil leaves
    1/2 c  Olive oil
           Squeeze of lemon
           Salt

MMMMM---------------------------BEANS--------------------------------
      2 tb Olive oil
      2 cl Garlic; thin sliced
     30 oz (2 cans) white beans; rinsed
           - drained
           Salt & black pepper
    1/2 c  Chicken stock
           Flaky salt; for serving
           - (opt)

  MAKE THE OIL: In a food processor, combine chives,
  cilantro and basil, and pulse until finely chopped. Add
  olive oil, and pulse again until mixture is silky and
  emulsified. Transfer to a small bowl, stir in lemon
  juice and salt to taste. Set aside.

  PREPARE THE BEANS: In a 10" skillet, heat olive oil over
  medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook until translucent,
  about 1 minute. Add beans to the skillet and season with
  salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the
  flavors have melded, about 2 to 3 minutes. With the back
  of a spoon or spatula, smash about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the
  beans and stir until they are incorporated into the rest
  of the bean mixture. A good portion of the remaining
  beans should maintain their structure.

  Add stock or water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook
  until sauce becomes creamy and is reduced by about about
  half, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Smash additional beans
  and add a few more tablespoons of water, if needed, to
  reach desired consistency and stir again to combined.

  Transfer beans to a bowl and swirl with herb oil on top.
  Season with flaky salt, if desired.
