1 lb small white beans -- soaked overnight
1 box frozen chopped spinach -- thawed
4 cloves garlic -- minced
1 c soft bread crumbs
1 bay leaf
dried oregano
dried thyme
salt and white pepper -- to taste

Rinse and drain beans. Cook with bay leaf until tender (1-2 hours). Partially
drain, leaving beans in about 1/2 c of their liquid; reserve drained liquid in
case more moisture is needed. Combine bread crumbs and garlic in a bowl (these

Combine beans, bread crumbs and as much spinach puree as needed to bind
ingredients together. Serve slightly warm.
