White Bean, Cauliflower, and Spinach Spread + quesadilla

This spread is the most simple and easy dinner eva. You just need a few bits of ingredients and a food processor. AND, you’re good!

White Bean, Cauliflower, and Spinach Spread + quesadilla (adapted from Martha Stewart)

1 medium head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
5 garlic cloves, unpeeled
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 bag of spinach (salad bag)
1 can (15.5 ounces) white beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Optional:
Cheese
Tortillas
Directions:

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss cauliflower and garlic with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until cauliflower is tender and browned, 25 to 30 minutes. When garlic is cool enough to handle, remove peel.

- In a food processor, combine cauliflower, garlic, beans, spinach, 1 tablespoon oil, lemon zest and juice, and 1/4 cup hot water. Process until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (To store, refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 3 days.) Serve drizzled with oil.

- Optional:
Spread your white bean, cauliflower, and spinach spread onto a tortilla. Sprinkle some cheese (I went with white jack cheese) and melt a quesadilla! This was really great for Ruari. She ate up those quesadillas. Yay!
Anything that contains some sort of veggie and my kid will eat it… is awesome.

    This looked sooooooo yummy, I couldn't wait to get home and make it. But it was a disaster. I mixed the spinach & beans first, and it smelled decent but once I added the cauliflower it smelled AWFUL and I had to dump it all. :( I was so sad. Yours still looks so good, it's making me hungry all over again!

  2. cheese….optional? there should always be cheese ;)

    Hm. Interesting.

    How do you think this would taste with some chopped up chicken in the quesadilla?

    This looks so good and I think I'll make it for dinner! We eat quesadillas about 400 times a week so this will be a great way to spice it up. Thanks!

    Awesomeness! My VERY picky eater loves quesidillas, so maybe, just maybe, I could sneak this in there. Either way, I'm sure I would love it and I could always use more veggie consumption, too. Thanks!

    Thanks for the idea! I actually have some cauliflower and spinach on the brink of grossness that now will have a purpose :)
