Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup dried cranberry beans
2 sprigs fresh sage
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 bay leaf
kitchen twine
4 ounces chickpea lasagna sheets
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup diced onion
½ cup diced carrots
½ cup diced red bell pepper
20 fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bird's eye chile, minced
4 cups water
1 cube vegetable bouillon
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups boiling water
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Soak beans in water, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Drain beans and briefly rinse under cold water. Allow to drain.
  • Tie sage, rosemary, and bay leaf with kitchen twine. Set aside. Break lasagna sheets into uneven pieces that are relatively the same size.
  • Heat a stovetop pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil, onion, carrots, and red bell pepper; stir until onion is translucent. Add drained beans, herb bundle, green beans, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and chile pepper. Stir to ensure beans are evenly distributed. Add 4 cups water and bouillon cube. Secure the lid and bring to pressure. Cook for 8 minutes from the first whistle.
  • Turn off heat and allow pressure to release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions. Remove cover and discard herb bundle. Season stew with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add pasta pieces a few at a time, stirring constantly to avoid sticking.
  • Add boiling water a little at a time if the stew becomes too thick. Stir frequently until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Ladle into 4 bowls. Top each bowl with 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil.
