- 1 tbsp. freshly chopped sage (substitute 1 tsp dried)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet on low heat. The onions, a pinch of salt, and one tablespoon of oil should be added. Cook, occasionally stirring, until the onions are caramelized and dark golden. The process will take 30-35 minutes.
- Add the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a food processor. Add the beans.Add cold water, aquafaba, or additional olive oil to thin if necessary and process until smooth.Allow it to process for several minutes, pausing a few times to scrape down.If necessary, taste and adjust the salt and lemon juice.
- Pulse in the rosemary, sage, and caramelized onions to combine. Set some aside for garnish if desired.
- Take advantage of the flavors right away or store in the refrigerator. It can be stored for about a week.
- Aquafaba is either the liquid that comes in the can of beans or the liquid that you use to cook dried beans. It can improve the texture of the dip, but it’s ok to substitute with cold water or add more olive oil if you’d prefer (or a combination of the two).
