Ingredients
1.1lbs(500g) dried white beans already boiled
4-5large onions
4-5 tspgood quality tomato paste
2-10garlic cloves
fresh dill, parsley to garnish
10-12tbspcooking oil(neutral flavor)
Instructions
Put the cooked beans into a food processor along with 4-5 tbs neutral flavor oil, garlic cloves and some cooking liquid just enough to reach desired consistency. Mix them together just for a few seconds, the paste don't need to be too smooth. Place the resulted paste into a bawl.
Start making the tomato sauce. Finely chop the onions and saute them in a large pan with the remaining 6-7 tbsp cooking oil. Stir continuously on medium low heat, until it loses all the water, releases the sweetness and gets that beautiful golden color. It will take around 15-20 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and stir well so both the onion and oil absorbs it completely. Cook another 5-7 minutes. Pour the sauce directly over the beans paste and spread it to cover all the surface. Serve immediately, on toasted bread slices, baguette or any kind of bread / pittas you have at hand. Decorate with fresh dill and parsley. Slices of bell peppers, tomatoes, pitted olives are a visual and delicious plus.
This white bean dip with tomato onions topping is delicious even as a leftover. Cover it up and keep it the fridge up to 4 days.
Notes
I know you'll be tempted to use olive oil. Please don't. It will completely change the flavor, not in a good way.
