By grinder

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup basil flavored olive oil +
• 1 small yellow onion, chopped
• 1 large clove garlic, chopped
• 1 can cannellini beans, drain, liquid reserved
• Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• 6-8 celery stalks, thin strips, 1/4”x 6”

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over med-heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until very soft, but not brown, about 10 minutes. Add beans and ¼ cup reserved liquid from the can and season well with salt and pepper.

Raise heat to med-high and continue cooking until beans begin to break down, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly and transfer mixture to a food processor and puree, drizzling in more reserved liquid, if needed, until it is the consistency of thick hummus. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Transfer to a wide, tall glass and drizzle with additional basil oil before serving.

TO SERVE:
Stand celery stalks upright in the dip. {Choose a container that's small enough with high sides to allow the celery to stand upright}
