Stewed White Beans With Tomatoes And Rosemary Recipes

STEWED WHITE BEANS WITH TOMATOES AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Soak beans in water overnight. Drain, and transfer to a large pot. Cover beans with 4 inches water. Add the intact half of the onion, the carrot, celery, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until beans are tender but not bursting, about 1 hour. Drain, and remove onion, carrot, celery, and bay leaf; discard.
• Pulse tomatoes, with juice, in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Heat oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, the garlic, and red-pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion and garlic are tender but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and rosemary. Bring to a boil.
• Add beans, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomato sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm, and drizzle with oil just before serving.

ROSEMARY WHITE BEAN TOMATO STEW

Steps:

• Heat up some olive oil in a soup pot on medium heat and sauté the onions in it until soft and translucent. Add the garlic for another minute until fragrant. Now add the beans, tomatoes, stock, salt and pepper, twigs of rosemary and optionally a parmesan rind and chili flakes for some heat.
• Increase the heat to bring it to boil, then reduce it to low and let simmer for 20 minutes. It will have thickened significantly by then.
• Now add the kale leaves to it and continue simmering for 2 or 3 more minutes. In the meantime remove the rosemary and the parmesan rind.
• Divide the stew in bowls and sprinkle with fresh parsley and freshly grated parmesan. Serve it with quinoa or rice (for stew) or big chunks of freshly baked bread (for soup).

STEWED WHITE BEANS WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Soak the beans overnight in cold water to cover. Rinse them and put them in a heavy casserole with the tomatoes and their juice, and enough water to cover.

• Stir in the parsley and the olive oil. Correct seasoning and serve.

STEWED LAMB SHANKS WITH WHITE BEANS AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Season the shanks with 1 teaspoon of the salt and freshly ground pepper. Heat the olive oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium-high heat. Add as many shanks as will fit without crowding. Brown the shanks well on all sides, about 10 minutes per batch. Set the browned shanks aside and repeat with the remaining shanks, pouring off the fat between batches.
• Place the garlic, onion, carrots and celery in the skillet and saute until softened, about 10 minutes. Pour in the wine and cook for about 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits.
• Transfer the vegetable and wine mixture to a large stockpot. Add the tomatoes and use the back of a spoon to break them into small chunks. Add the remaining ingredients, including the shanks. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, skimming as necessary, until the lamb and beans are very tender, about 2 hours. If the lamb is done before the beans, take out the shanks and cover with foil to keep them warm until the beans are done.
• Skim off as much fat from the top of the liquid as possible. Use tongs to remove the shanks from the liquid, placing 1 shank on each of 8 plates. Season the bean mixture with additional salt if needed. Discard rosemary and bay leaves. Using a slotted spoon, arrange some of the beans and vegetables around each shank. Spoon some of the liquid over and around the shank and serve immediately.

WHITE BEAN STEW WITH TOMATOES AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, soak beans overnight in plenty of cold water.
• The next day, strain the beans and add to a large pot. Cover with fresh cold water, add bouquet garni, halved onion, and carrot, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and simmer until beans are soft but not mushy, 45 minutes to 2 hours. Just before the end of cooking, add salt to taste.
• Remove bouquet garni and vegetables and discard. Reserve cooking liquid for later.
• Meanwhile, in a wide saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the oil. Add the chopped onion and cook gently until soft but not colored, 6 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Stir in tomatoes, cooked beans, and rosemary. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, adding some of the bean liquid if the stew is dry. Season well with salt, black pepper, and sugar, to taste. The mixture should be loose and juicy but not swimming in liquid.☞TESTER TIP: Any cooked bean liquid that doesn't get used in the stew can be frozen and used as a vegetable broth.
