CREAMY WHITE BEANS WITH HERB OIL



Creamy White Beans With Herb Oil image

Canned beans are transformed into a hearty, elegant main swirled with an herb oil that comes together in no time with the aid of a food processor. This particular oil includes chives, cilantro and basil, but feel free to use what you have on hand. Parsley and mint would also work well. Serve with a chilled glass of red wine, a big green salad and a loaf of crusty bread.

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup roughly chopped chives
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems
1/2 cup tightly packed basil leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
Squeeze of lemon
Kosher salt, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, like butter beans or cannellini, rinsed and drained
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup chicken stock, vegetable stock or water
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the oil: In a food processor, combine chives, cilantro and basil, and pulse until finely chopped. Add olive oil, and pulse again until mixture is silky and emulsified. Transfer to a small bowl, stir in lemon juice and salt to taste. Set aside.
  • Prepare the beans: In a 10-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook until translucent, about 1 minute. Add beans to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded, about 2 to 3 minutes. With the back of a spoon or spatula, smash about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the beans and stir until they are incorporated into the rest of the bean mixture. A good portion of the remaining beans should maintain their structure.
  • Add stock or water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until sauce becomes creamy and is reduced by about about half, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Smash additional beans and add a few more tablespoons of water, if needed, to reach desired consistency and stir again to combined.
  • Transfer beans to a bowl and swirl with herb oil on top. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

TUSCAN WHITE BEANS WITH OLIVE OIL

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound dried Great Northern, navy, pea or other white beans
2 quarts chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh flatleaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Sort the beans to make sure they are free of stones or other debris. Rinse, then cover with cold water, refrigerate, and soak overnight. The next day, drain the beans, place them in a large pot, and cover with the stock. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer the beans for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until they are tender. Add 1 teaspoon of salt in the final 15 minutes of cooking. The addition of salt earlier in the cooking process will result in tough beans.
  • Remove the beans with a slotted spoon and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add all the remaining seasoning and other ingredients to the warm beans in the bowl and toss together. Adjust the salt and add freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve warm or chilled.
