- 14 ounce cannellini beans (1 can), reserve liquid
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small red onion chopped
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
Make the dip: In a blender or food processor add the cannellini beans including the liquid, garlic, salt, then blend together until smooth.
Cook the onions: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and both red and yellow onions. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the onion just starts to get golden. Add the sweet paprika over the onion and stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
Assemble and serve: Add the bean dip to a bowl then top it off with the onion mix and serve.
- You can use a lighter flavored oil in the dip to not mask the tasty flavors of the bean dip with the sautéed onion topping. Some oils I recommend are olive oil, sunflower or safflower. Avocado oil, while tasty, might be too strong for this type of dip.
- When adding garlic, my favorite is fresh garlic for the best flavor, but minced garlic in a jar will work as well. These two tend to have much more flavor than the powdered garlic so I would suggest using either one of the two.
- If you have time and are in the mood for more of a homemade taste, you can go ahead and cook the beans yourself instead of buying the canned option.
- You can store this bean dip in an airtight container for about 1 week in the fridge.
- If you wish to freeze it, I'd recommend freezing it in an airtight freezer friendly bag that closes tightly. It will last in your fridge for up to 3 months.
