Tips for your homemade bean puree
Finally, we would like to give you a few tips that can help you with the production of your homemade bean puree:
Of course you can prepare the recipe with beans of your choice. So you can use kidney beans in the same way or combine different types of beans.
If you don’t want to use canned or jarred beans, you can cook dried beans yourself. You can find out how to do this here: Cooking white beans: This is how they get the right consistency. But keep in mind that the preparation time given above will be significantly longer.
Add kitchen herbs and spices as you wish. You can supplement the white bean puree with dried tomatoes or cumin, for example, and add fresh herbs as a topping.
If you like roasted flavors, you can roast the garlic in a pan or in the oven beforehand. Use several cloves of garlic for this because they lose their intensity when cooked.
