RED-BEAN SOUP WITH GREMOLATA



Red-Bean Soup with Gremolata image

Latin-food authority Maricel Presilla describes _sofrito_-the sautéed mix of aromatic vegetables that is the bedrock of this vegetarian soup-as the DNA of the Latin kitchen because it carries a basic flavor code. There's onion and garlic, to be sure, but also tomatoes and various herbs, spices, and chiles, depending on the region. For this red-bean soup, we were inspired specifically by Puerto Rico, as evidenced by _recao_ (an herb similar to cilantro) and by chiles that are fruity rather than hot. Just for fun, we included a last-minute sprinkling of Italian _gremolata_ for brightness.

1 (1-pound) bag dried red kidney beans, picked over and rinsed
1 large onion, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
4 fresh ají dulce chiles, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
2 Cubanelle peppers (Italian green frying peppers), seeded and chopped
1/2 cup chopped recao (culantro) or cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (preferably oil-packed), drained
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for drizzling
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon sweet piment&ocute;n (smoked paprika)
2 1/2 quarts water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 1/2 quarts water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Put beans in a large saucepan with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 1 hour. Drain well.
  • Cook onion, garlic, chiles, Cubanelles, recao, and sun-dried tomatoes in oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 12 minutes. Add bay leaf and pimentón and cook, stirring, 2 minutes, then add beans and water and simmer, covered, until beans are very tender, 11/2 to 2 hours. Discard bay leaf.
  • Purée soup in batches in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids). Reheat over medium-low heat. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in lemon juice.
  • Stir together zest, garlic, and parsley.
  • Serve soup sprinkled with gremolata and drizzled with oil.
