  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For cooking the onions.
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar Adds flavor and acidity.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped) Can substitute with dried herbs.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the onions thinly. The thinner they are, the quicker they will caramelize.
Caramelization
  1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions with a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Combining
  1. Stir in the cooked white beans gently to avoid mashing them.
  2. Pour in the balsamic vinegar and toss in the chopped rosemary. Stir gently to coat the beans.
Final Cooking
  1. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the balsamic to thicken.
Serving
  1. Transfer to a serving dish, top with additional rosemary if desired, and enjoy warm.
