Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan on medium heat. Slice your onions into even size half rounds, using a mandolin slicer if necessary. Once the oil is heated, add the onions to the pan and cook on medium for about 5 minutes stirring frequently to make sure they don’t burn. Turn the heat down to low ( or just a little higher than low) and, stirring occasionally, cook for about 30 minutes to an hour until the onions reach a deep golden color and soft texture. At the 15-20 minute mark, lightly salt the onions. You may find you need to lower the temperature or add some more oil during the process. If your onions are sticking to the pan or burning, you’ll want to lower the temperature and scrape the pan. Don’t be tempted to cook them on a higher temperature, they’ll only burn. Once they’re done, set aside to cool.

2. While your onions are cooking, gently rinse your beans and add to a food processor. Pulse until they start to get creamy. Add your oil and champagne vinegar and pulse until the beans are very creamy (you may need to add just a bit more oil to get the right consistency). Season with salt, pepper and a little bit of garlic powder and transfer to a mixing bowl.

3. Once your onions are cooled, fold them into your white bean mixture, saving about a tablespoon. Transfer the mixture to a pretty bowl and top with your remaining tablespoon of onions. You can serve immediately or cool in the refrigerator first, but you will want to the dip to sit out at least 10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy.
