Instructions: "Sweet caramelized onions and a puree of white beans pack rustic flavor onto wedges of Italian bread. Purchased focaccias or Italian bread shells make preparation a hassle-free delight." In large skillet cook and stir onions and pepper over medium high heat in hot oil uncovered 7 minutes or until onions turn brown. Remove onions; set aside. Add beans to skillet; cook 1 minute. Add wine or broth and thyme; reduce heat and simmer uncovered 3-4 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half. Mash beans slightly. Spread bread shells with bean mixture; top with onions. Bake at 450F 10 minutes. Cut into wedges. Garnish with red pepper and fresh marjoram.

Makes 16 servings. Better Homes and Gardens, "Good things in small packages", January 1998.
