WHITE BEAN DIP

Steps:

• For the beans: Put the beans in a bowl and cover with cold water by 3 inches above the top of the beans. Let soak overnight.
• Strain the beans, discarding the soaking liquid. Place them in a pot and cover with water by 3 inches above the top of the beans. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and let cook until the beans are tender, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Strain and let cool.
• For the dip: Bring 1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a boil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and a pinch of salt and simmer until the water reduces down and the onions become translucent and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the beans and heat until they become warm.
• Meanwhile, add the Worcestershire, vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, hot sauce, 4 tablespoons olive oil and some salt to a food processor. Transfer the bean mixture to the food processor. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and another pinch of salt. Puree the beans until smooth. Add more oil if needed for taste or texture. Taste for seasoning. Serve with vegetables or crackers.
