Instructions
- 1Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil if desired.
- 2Add the sliced white onion and sauté for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is deeply caramelized and golden; add a splash of water if the pan becomes too dry.

- 7Remove the pan from heat and fold in the chopped parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice; taste and adjust salt or pepper as needed.
- 8If serving with sourdough, toast slices of sourdough bread until golden and crisp, then spoon the bean mixture over the toast.
