Tuscan White Bean Stew
Tuscan White Bean Stew is Italian home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre and the protein alongside. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 30 oz cannellini beans
- 4 cups kale
- 1 carrot
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 15 oz crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp fresh sage
- 3/4 tsp salt
How to cook it
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot and soften the carrot, celery, onion, and garlic, about 6 minutes.
- Stir in the rosemary and sage until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add the drained cannellini beans and simmer until the stew thickens, about 20 minutes.
- Mash some of the beans against the side of the pot to thicken the broth.
- Stir in the chopped kale and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and serve.

When to cook it
Tuscan White Bean Stew takes about 50 minutes from a cold stove to the table, and the cooking itself is a fair bit of work. It is eaten at lunch and dinner. It is at its best in the fall and winter, which is when what goes into it is worth buying.
