In a medium saucepan, heat the beans with the butter just to cook
slightly and soften. Add approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons of Italian
vinaigrette and salt and pepper to taste. Either mash by hand or in a
food processor, pulse until mashed and well blended. Set aside. If
you are using a plain white loaf of bread, trim the crusts off, cut
into triangles. Then brush with olive oil, sprinkle a little salt and
pepper on top. Then place on a cookie sheet, and place in a 275
degree oven, under the broiler and toast until just golden. If you’re
using a free form white loaf of bread, slice it approximately
1/4-inch thick and into approximately 3-inch rounds and follow the
instructions for the plain white loaf above. Apply 1 to 2 tablespoons
of Bean Tapenade. Optional garnish, chopped scallions. This recipe
yields 4 servings as an accompaniment.
