Homestyle Sweet Onion Dip Recipe

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 small Vidalia or Walla Walla onion, diced
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 can (16 oz) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
pinch cayenne
kosher salt and black pepper to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup diced sundried tomatoes, soaked in hot water, then drained

Put the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-low heat, add the onion and cook until soft and light gold in color (caramelized) - this will take about 15 minutes if done correctly; stir frequently.

Remove from heat and put onions in a food processor, then add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Add more olive oil if the mixture is too thick.

Remove to a bowl and serve as a dip with veggies or bread sticks. This is a nice healthy substitute for those prepackaged onion dips.
