This white bean dip with caramelized onions and tomato sauce one of my all time favorite dishes. My mother in law makes it for me all the time. As a result, I kindly asked her to share her recipe as it is to die for. Imagine a blanket a soft and creamy cannellini beans, that are swimming in the most delicious tomato sauce. Then, all topped with sweet and juicy caramelized onions.
White bean dip
Ingredients
- ½ pound dried cannellini
- 2 dry bay leaves
- 2 large sweet onions (thinly sliced lengthwise)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- Vegetable oil
- Kosher salt
- Black Pepper
- Water
Instructions
- In a large pot, place the beans and bay leaves, cover with cold water by at least 2 inches and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until beans are very tender, about 1 to 2 hours. Season with salt. Drain beans, saving some of the liquid, roughly 2 cups, discard the bay leaves.
- In a large skillet, heat oil until shimmering over medium-high heat. Add in beans and garlic, cook for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of reserved bean-cooking liquid. Using a potato masher, mash the beans to form a chunky purée. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring, until desired consistency is reached; if the beans are too dry, add more bean-cooking liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer beans to a deep dish.
- In a medium skillet, heat some oil until shimmering over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and light golden color, about 5-7 minutes, add tomato paste and stir until well incorporated.
- Top the beans with the onions and tomato sauce.
- Serve warm or cold.
