Flatbread with White Bean Puree and Asparagus Ribbons
An asparagus flatbread smothered in flavorful white bean puree to show spring you are ready to rock! Healthy, easy and so flavorful with all the added fun toppings!
Make the white bean puree: In a food processor, combine the cannellini beans, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a few generous pinches of salt and pepper. Season to taste. Chill until ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bread on a large rimmed bakingsheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes, or until toasted and golden brown.
Use a peeler to shave the asparagus into ribbons. Toss them in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, the lemon juice, and pinches of salt and pepper.
Spread the white bean puree onto the flatbreads and top each with a few asparagus ribbons, the cheese, mint, pine nuts, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Notes
On a side note, I also made this recipe sans oil. It was easy to do, subbed veggie broth in for the called for oil in the white bean puree.
