Time 3h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound dry cannellini, borlotti or Great Northern beans
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 pound bacon or pancetta, roughly chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced (can sub fresh rosemary)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon chile flakes (depending on how spicy you want it)
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
2 cups beef or chicken stock (use gluten-free stock for gluten-free version)
Salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Soak the beans in water: Pre-soak the beans, either by covering with two inches of water and soaking overnight, or by pouring boiling water over them and soaking them for an hour.
  • Drain the beans, cover with water, cook until tender: Drain the beans and put them in a medium-sized pot and cover with 2 inches of water. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook until the beans are just soft enough to eat, about 1 hour, give or take 15 minutes or so, depending on how old the beans are (older beans will take longer to cook).
  • Stir in the parsley and balsamic vinegar: Right before serving, gently stir in the chopped parsley and balsamic vinegar. Taste for salt, add more if needed to taste. Serve either hot or at room temperature.

CHEESY WHITE BEAN-TOMATO BAKE



Cheesy White Bean-Tomato Bake image

For those of you who love lasagna's edges, where sticky tomato meets crisp cheese, this whole dish is for you - even the middle. A tube of tomato paste here mimics the deep flavors of sun-dried tomato. Frying a few generous squeezes caramelizes the tomato's sugars and saturates the olive oil, making a mixture that's ready to glom onto anything you stir through it. Here, it's white beans, though you could add in kale, noodles, even roasted vegetables. Then, all that's left to do is dot it with cheese and bake until it's as molten or singed as you like. Serve with bread and a bitter-green salad.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 fat garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 (15-ounce) cans white beans (such as cannellini or Great Northern) or chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup boiling water
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/3 pound mozzarella, coarsely grated (about 1 1/3 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic until it's lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste (be careful of splattering) and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
  • Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top, then bake until the cheese has melted and browned in spots, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as toasted as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for a minute or 2. Serve at once.
