tablespoons oil in a small saucepan.  Add rosemary.  Cook over medium heat
until lightly browned.  Discard rosemary.  Add parsley and garlic; saute.

stirring frequently.  Add to bean mixture.  With a slotted spoon, place a
third of bean mixture in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth.
