Instructions:
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and begins to caramelize.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a food processor, add the cooked white beans, sautéed onion and garlic mixture, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped chives.
- Pulse the mixture a few times to combine.
- Gradually add 1 tablespoon of water to the food processor while pulsing until the pâté reaches your desired smoothness and consistency.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper. Pulse again to thoroughly mix.
- Transfer the pâté to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld properly.
- While the pâté is chilling, thinly slice the cucumber using a mandolin or a sharp knife.
- Arrange the cucumber slices on a serving platter.
- Once chilled, spread the pâté on top of each cucumber slice or serve it on the side as a dip.
- Optional: Garnish with additional chopped parsley and chives for a fresh touch.
Tips:
- To enhance the flavor, soak the sun-dried tomatoes in hot water for about 10 minutes before using them in the recipe.
- Use a high-quality olive oil for a richer and more authentic taste.
- For a smoother texture, blend the pâté for a few extra minutes until you achieve the desired consistency.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a few drops of hot sauce.
- Garnish with additional chopped parsley and chives for a burst of fresh color and flavor.
- Let the pâté sit for at least 30 minutes after preparing to allow the flavors to meld together.
