"Hi, this is Rich Buccola here in New York City and today on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to make quick fix focaccia wedges. Alright, our ingredients today. We're going to need some boboli pizza crust dough. It's in the supermarket. I swear buy this stuff. It's great. It comes already made. That's number one. Number two, you're going to need a can of white beans. Small white beans or regular white beans are fine. You're going to need a little bit of chicken broth or white wine. I tend to use a little bit of both. Then we're going to go over, we're going to need some Parmesan cheese to top off. I'm going to need a little butter and olive oil for sauteing our onions. We're going to get them nice and caramelized. About three onions and and we're going to use about two small cloves of garlic. Also going to use some red pepper. And to season everything today we're just going to use salt and pepper, fresh pepper, to taste and we're going to use some fresh thyme and add some dried marjoram that is also nice. If you can get fresh marjoram, it's much better, especially to garnish with. But I had some dried, so I used that today. Put these together and we're going to make some nice stuff here today. Come back. We're making it here on Expert Village."
