Mashed White Beans with Rosemary and Garlic

I made this as a side to the boy's pork steaks last night. It was easy, I already had all the ingredients at home... and it wasn't terrible! Yippee!

Mashed White Beans with Rosemary and Garlic

• 2 (15 oz.) cans cannellini (white) beans, rinsed and drained
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed into small pieces (or a few sprigs of fresh rosemary)
• 1/3 cup chicken stock
• Salt and pepper

In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil, garlic and rosemary over medium-low heat. Saute until fragrant.

Add beans and chicken stock. Increase to medium heat and stir beans. Continue to stir until beans begin to soften, approximately 5 to 8 minutes.

Using a wooden spoon or a potato masher, mash beans until they reach your desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
