Charred Red Onion and Balsamic Vinegar White Beans

I watched Emeril prepare this on TV; it looked very easy to prepare and had ingredients that I like, so I had to try it.

It's really tasty warm, but I think it really gets better if you let it marinade and let it get cold. Give it a try both ways.

I used canned beans, skipped the parsley because I'm not crazy about it and added cold tomatoes after the dish cooled down. It became a great side dish salad with the meatballs I had prepared. Yummy:)
