Method

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

Slice onion into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.

Brush slices all over with a tablespoon of oil and place on the grill with rosemary.

Grill onions and rosemary for 3-4 minutes on each side, until onions are charred and softened.

Remove to a plate to cool slightly.

In a food processor, pulse beans until just mashed.

Add grilled onions and pulse until blended.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and blend until smooth.

Remove 1 to 2 tablespoons of softened rosemary leaves from stalk.

Add to bean mixture along with garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper and cayenne.

Blend until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

*To roast your own garlic, preheat oven to 400°F.

Coat 1/4 cup peeled whole garlic cloves with 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil.

Put garlic in a small cast iron pan or small baking dish.

Roast 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until garlic is tender, lightly golden and very aromatic.
