BAKED CANNELLINI BEANS
My sister developed this baked cannellini beans recipe after a Christmas holiday. We were still all together but nobody wanted to go to the grocery store, so we made do with what we could find in the kitchen-it turned out delicious! This baked beans recipe would be great with a combination of beans, too (like half black beans and half white). -Debra Keil, Owasso, Oklahoma

BAKED GIANT WHITE BEANS WITH CABBAGE
This slow-baked bean and cabbage dish is luxurious in both taste and texture. The limas become soft and pillowy after their long, slow simmer, while releasing some of their starch into the bean broth; the cabbage sweetens over time and almost melts into the velvety broth. Baked beans with cabbage traditionally contain a ham bone or some salt pork for flavor, but I get that rich umami flavor with Parmesan rinds.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, ovenproof casserole and add the onion and carrots. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes, and stir in the cabbage and half the garlic. Cook, stirring, for another 5 minutes, until the cabbage has wilted.
- Add the beans, water, bouquet garni and salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover and place in the oven. Bake 1 hour and add the remaining garlic; taste and adjust salt. Return to the oven and bake for another 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the beans are very tender and creamy. Taste and adjust salt. Remove the bouquet garni. Stir in the chopped parsley. Serve hot or warm.
Tips:
- Choose the right beans: Great Northern beans are the traditional choice for this recipe, but you can also use navy beans or cannellini beans.
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a good quality beer: The beer will add flavor to the beans, so choose a beer that you enjoy drinking. A light lager or ale is a good choice.
- Don't skimp on the garlic: Garlic is a key ingredient in this recipe, so don't be afraid to add a lot of it.
- Serve the beans hot: Beer-baked white beans are best served hot, right out of the oven. You can garnish them with chopped parsley or green onions.
Conclusion:
Beer-baked white beans are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They are also a great way to use up leftover beer. So next time you have a few cans of beer in the fridge, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
