White Bean Stew

 



The recipe is actually for a soup.  I added less liquid to make it more of a stew instead.  I also used savoy cabbage instead of kale.


  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 800 g white beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 1 carrot sliced
  • 1 celery stick diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 80 ml white wine
  • 600 ml vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 80 g kale chopped
  • ½ lemon juice
  • 20 g Pecorino cheese

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Saute for 7 - 9 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables have begun to soften. If they begin to stick to the bottom of your pan, add a splash of water.
    1 tablespoon olive oil,1 white onion,1 carrot,1 celery stick
  2. Tip in the garlic, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, diced rosemary, and oregao, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
    2 garlic cloves,1 tablespoon tomato paste,1 teaspoon Italian seasoning,1 sprig fresh rosemary,1 teaspoon dried oregano
  3. Pour in your white wine to deglaze the pan and let the wine cook down for a few minutes. Use your spoon to gently scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
    80 ml white wine
  4. Add the white beans, bay leaf, and vegetable stock and bring to a gentle simmer (5 minutes).
    800 g white beans,600 ml vegetable stock,1 bay leaf
  5. Use a hand blender to blend about ⅓ of the pan (more if you want a smoother soup), then leave the soup to simmer for 5 - 8 minutes. The sauce should start to thicken.
  6. Stir in your kale and let it wilt down for a minute or two. Season your soup with salt and pepper to taste, and then remove the pan from the heat.
    salt and pepper,80 g kale
  7. Serve with the Pecorino cheese grated on top, the lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
    ½ lemon,20 g Pecorino cheese,0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
