Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup bean cooking liquid and toss, adding more cooking liquid if needed, until coated (mixture should be saucy but not submerged in liquid; don't cook too long or beans will get mushy).

Steps:

• Saute -- In a large pan, heat the oil. Add the garlic, onion and red pepper and saute for 2-3 minutes on medium until slightly soft.
• Beans and spinach -- Add the beans, seasoning and saute on medium high to high until cooked through, about 5 minutes. As they cook I like to take a fork and slightly mash the beans a bit to get a good consistency. I like to get them a little crisp and browned but not fried dark brown. Just a light browning is good. Add the spinach and break up as it cooks. If too dry you can use a little white wine, chicken broth or just water to loosen the sauce if necessary. Garnish with some good olive oil and ground pepper.

Steps:

• Blend cannellini beans, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, rosemary, garlic, chile-garlic sauce, and honey together in a food processor or blender until smooth. Gradually add water while blending for a thinner dip.

• Once the beans a fully heated through, add the lime juice, salt and fresh coriander and mash with the back of a fork.
• Pour into a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining olive oil and a few sprigs of fresh coriander.
