White Bean Garlic with Onions (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Beans Base
01 -
450 grams canned white beans, drained (or 90 grams dried white beans, cooked)
02 -
60 ml reserved bean canning liquid
03 -
1.5 cloves garlic, peeled
04 -
1.25 teaspoons salt, divided, or to taste
→ Caramelized Onion Topping
05 -
2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
06 -
125 ml sunflower oil or neutral oil
07 -
3 tablespoons tomato paste
08 -
1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika, divided
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine the drained white beans, 60 ml canning liquid, half the salt, and garlic in a food processor. Process until the mixture is very smooth and creamy.
02 -
In a non-stick skillet set over low to medium-low heat, combine the sliced onions, sunflower oil, tomato paste, remaining salt, and a pinch of smoked paprika. Stir until onions are thoroughly coated.
03 -
Cook the onions gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rest of the smoked paprika and continue cooking for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are significantly reduced and edges begin to crisp.
04 -
Watch the onions closely after 15 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat if onions begin to brown too quickly, as caramelized onions can burn rapidly.
05 -
Spread the whipped bean mixture into a flat serving bowl and top generously with the warm caramelized onions. Enjoy with fresh bread as a spread or dip.
