White Bean Puree
What is white bean puree made of? White bean puree is made from cannellini beans, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. It uses simple ingredients and delivers flavor. The cooking process is done in the food processor - no need to heat it.
Blend the white beans (drained and rinsed), olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice until pureed—season with salt to taste.
Note - You can use an immersion blender if you do not have a food processor.
Ingredients
- Mini Naan Flatbreads: You can also adapt the recipe to be used on the full-size naan; the serving quantity will be different.
- White Bean Puree: Instead of sauce, these pizzas have a base of white bean puree. It's a healthy, delicious addition packed with flavor, fiber, and protein. The puree contains cannellini beans, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and salt.
- Bacon (chopped)
- Scallions (diced)
- Black Olives
- Parmesan Cheese (shredded)
See the recipe card for ingredient quantities.
Substitutions
- Scallions - Red Onion, White Onion, Chives
- Black Olives - Kalamata Olives
- Parmesan Cheese - Part-Skim Mozzarella
Instructions
STEP 1 - Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the naan onto an ungreased sheet tray. Spread about 2 tablespoon of white bean puree onto each naan. Sprinkle each with the bacon bits, scallions, and olives. Generously sprinkle each with Parmesan cheese.
STEP 2 - Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Set the broiler to low and broil for one to 2 minutes. This will allow the crust and cheese to brown slightly. Serve immediately.
Storage
Best served immediately - store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can mini naan pizzas be frozen? Freeze cooled naan pizzas on a baking sheet until solid or frozen. Transfer to an airtight container or freezer-safe zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.
