Savory White Bean Pâté
Ingredients
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter, or as needed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 cups cannellini (white kidney) beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 teaspoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or as desired
  • 1 pinch paprika, or as desired
Instructions
1
Preheat your cooking surface by placing a small amount of butter in a serving bowl and gently rubbing it around to coat the interior lightly.
2
Heat a skillet over medium heat, then add a moderate amount of olive oil and sprinkle in white pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Allow the spices to warm up and release their aroma for 2 to 3 minutes.
3
Introduce a minced shallot into the warm oil and spices, then stir constantly until the shallot begins to transform in color, taking about 3 to 5 minutes.
4
Combine cannellini beans and tomato paste with the shallot and spice mixture, stirring frequently as you mash the beans to your desired consistency, approximately 5 minutes.
5
Mix sherry and soy sauce into the mashed bean mixture, then continue to cook until the liquid has evaporated, leaving a thickened sauce, 1 to 2 minutes.
6
Turn off the heat and stir in melted butter to enhance the flavor of the bean mixture; add a pinch of salt to taste.
7
Transfer the bean mixture into your prepared serving bowl.
8
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together, then garnish with a sprinkle of parsley and paprika before serving.
