lemon herb and white beans

• 6 c. cooked white beans (such as cannellini)
• 1 large sweet onions
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
• zest and juice of 2 lemons
• 1/2 preserved lemon, interior only, chopped fine
• salt to taste
• 1 t. black pepper
• 1/4 c. packed sage leaves, cut into thin strips
• 1 T. minced rosemary leaves
• 1 jalapeno, minced
• 2 yellow bell peppers, diced small
• 1 handful flat leaf parsley, minced
• 1 handful chives, minced

1. Cook the beans (or open a can), and drain thoroughly). Heat the beans to a very warm temperature so they absorb flavors.
2. Slice the onions into thick circles and grill until fairly charred, then dice.
3. Combine all of the ingredients thoroughly and check for seasoning.
4. Serve warm or at room temperature. This will keep for a few days in the refrigerator and the flavor will continue to improve.
