Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put beans, bay leaf, crushed garlic, thyme, wine and broth in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Simmer until beans are very tender, about 1 hour 45 minutes, adding more broth or water if needed to keep beans covered.

  2. Step 2

    Remove from heat. Remove fresh thyme, if used, and bay leaf. Put beans with their liquid in a food processor. Puree until smooth. With machine running, slowly add olive oil and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper. If puree is too thick, fold in butter or additional olive oil.
