White Bean Stew
White Bean Stew is Mediterranean home cooking, eaten at 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
- 3 cups canned white beans
- 1 onion
- 3 carrots
- 3 celery stalks
- 4 garlic cloves
- 15 oz crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 tsp salt
How to cook it
- Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium and soften the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the oregano and cook until fragrant.
- Add the white beans, crushed tomatoes, broth, and bay leaf and bring to a simmer.
- Cook gently until the vegetables are tender and the broth has thickened slightly, about 25 minutes.
- Season with salt, discard the bay leaf, and stir in the parsley.
- Drizzle each bowl with a little olive oil and serve.
