1. Drained canned beans, rinse thoroughly with water, and drain again.

parsley. Serve at room temperature.

in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process
briefly.

2. With the motor running, slowly dribble in the olive oil.

3. Taste, correct seasoning if necessary, and transfer to storage
container.
