Categories Bean

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Yellow Onion, Diced
2 cloves Garlic Cloves, Minced
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup Olive Oil
3 tablespoons Harissa Paste
1/2 cup Dry White Wine
2 cans White Beans
2 cups Vegetable Stock
4 cups Chopped Greens (Spinach or Baby Kale
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 dash Parmesan Cheese (Optional)

Steps:

Heat oil over medium heat. When hot, add onion. Sauté until golden brown, about 7 or 8 minutes, adjusting heat as necessary to avoid burning. Add Harissa, salt and garlic; cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add beans, stock and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook on low, covered, until the beans are becoming soft and creamy, about 20-30 minutes. If you like more of a stew consistency, smash some of the beans with the back of your spoon. Add greens and simmer until tender, about 5-10 minutes depending on the heartiness of the greens you use.
