White Beans In Sherry Bread Crumb Gravy Recipes

WHITE BEANS IN SHERRY-BREAD CRUMB GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat a large pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Sauté the onion in the oil for 7 to 10 minutes, until lightly caramelized. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the bread crumbs and toss to coat the onions.
• Now let the bread crumbs toast, tossing occasionally, for about 2 minutes, or until they are a few shades darker.
• Add the sherry and mix so that the bread crumbs absorb the sherry. Cook for about 1 minute.
• Add the thyme, salt, black pepper, and broth. Mix well, cover the pan, and turn the heat up to a boil. Once boiling, uncover the pan, lower the heat, and let the gravy simmer, bubble, and reduce. Once it's thickened to a gravy consistency, add the white beans and heat through. Add the lemon juice and taste for seasoning. Serve hot.

WHITE-BEAN CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Puree the beans, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor. Stir in 9 tablespoons of bread crumbs and refrigerate several hours, until firm.
• Form the mixture into balls, using a slightly rounded tablespoon for each one. Press one piece of mozzarella and 1 piece of tomato into the center of each and reshape into a ball. Coat with the remaining bread crumbs.
• Working in batches, deep-fry the balls until nicely browned -- it is important to keep the oil about 365 degrees. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
