White Beans with Lemon and Rosemary

Rated 0 out of 5
Be the first to Write a Review

In Tuscany, slowly simmered beans are sometimes served as a vegetarian lunchtime main course. For an even heartier dish, top these savory beans with poached eggs or flakes of high-quality canned tuna. Round out the menu with a bitter greens salad dressed with a tart vinaigrette.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 480 minutes
Servings 6 to 8

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. (500 g) dried cannellini or Great Northern beans
  • 9 garlic cloves, 6 left whole and 3 minced
  • 1 fresh rosemary sprig
  • 1/2 cup (4 fl. oz./125 ml) olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3 Tbs. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 lemons, each cut into 6 wedges

Directions

Pick over the beans, removing any misshapen beans or grit. Rinse under cold running water. Put the beans in a large bowl, add cold water to cover by at least 2 inches (5 cm), and let stand at room temperature overnight. Alternatively, for a quick soak, put the beans in a large pot, add water to cover by at least 2 inches, bring to a boil, remove from the heat, cover, and let soak for 1 hour. Drain and rinse the beans. Bring a large kettle filled with water to a boil.

Transfer the beans to the slow cooker. Bury the whole garlic cloves and the rosemary sprig in the beans. Add boiling water to cover the beans by 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm). Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The beans should be very tender.

Just before serving, in a small fry pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil until hot. Add the minced garlic and sauté just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Do not allow to brown. Remove from the heat and keep warm. Drain the beans, discarding the liquid, then remove and discard the rosemary sprig. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Spoon the beans onto individual plates. Drizzle with the warm garlic oil, garnish with the parsley and serve immediately, passing the lemon wedges at the table. Serves 6 to 8.
