Steps:
- Puree the beans in a food processor until smooth, adding the reserved liquid, as necessary, for a finished consistency that is spread-able but not too thin. Add olive paste and thyme. Puree again, and while pureeing, add extra-virgin olive oil and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Reserve, and garnish with sprigs of thyme, if desired.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

BRUSCHETTA WITH WHITE BEAN PUREE AND FRIED SAGE LEAVES
Steps:
- Place the oil in a small skillet and heat over medium high heat. Lightly dust the 16 sage leaves with flour, shaking off any excess. Drop them in the hot oil and cook just until crispy and bright green, about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the beans and shallot and process until very smooth. Remove the puree from the processor and pass it through a food mill or fine-mesh sieve. Place the puree in a small bowl and stir in the olive oil, chopped sage, lemon juice and salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Grill or broil the bread until lightly browned. While still hot, rub the slices with the garlic and sprinkle with a tablespoon of truffle oil. Spread each slice with about a tablespoon of the bean puree and sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of truffle oil over the tops. Top each with a fried sage leaf and serve immediately.

WHITE BEAN BRUSCHETTA
This simple, rustic appetizer has terrific flavor and is a favorite with my family. I mentioned in the directions that I like to let the bean mixture sit for a bit, but that is not included in the prep time. This is a great starter for and Italian or Mediteranean style meal.

Steps:
- Preheat grill pan or broiler.
- In a bowl, gently combine the beans, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red pepper, basil and garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- It's nice if the mixture can sit for a half an hour or so.
- For the bread: I usually warm a clove or two of chopped garlic in some olive oil to infuse the flavor.
- This can be done on the stovetop over VERY low heat, or in the microwave heated for about 30 seconds.
- Add a couple shakes of salt and pepper, and brush garlic oil evenly over the bread slices.
- Toast bread under the broiler, or on a grill pan for a few minutes (3-5), until slightly brown and crisp, or until there are grill marks.
- Top the bread slices with the bean mixture and drizzle any extra balsamic/oil over the top.
- This bruschetta is nice served with a tossed green salad.

Tips:
