CANNELLINI BEANS WITH CRUSHED RED PEPPER



Cannellini Beans With Crushed Red Pepper image

Are you looking for a fast, easy appetizer - most likely with items you already have on hand? Look no further. This recipe comes from Eva Longoria. She suggests serving with toast triangles. You could use any type of cracker or bread. It doesn't get much easier! Note: try to use a good quality olive oil since there are few ingredients to this recipe. Someone used a flavored oil with success. I want to try that next time! One other reviewer added some garlic, which I think would be good. It's a simple recipe that you can tweak to your tastes. Enjoy.

WARM CANNELLINI BEANS WITH SAGE



Warm Cannellini Beans With Sage image

The beans(you may use great northern beans instead) make their own rich sauce as they slowly simmer in their own broth with onions, fruity olive oil, and sage. For a simple, satisfying meal, serve with crusty sourdough bread and thin shavings of Parmesan cheese. Feel free to add in more veggies, like carrots, celery, etc. You may just need to add in a little more water near the end. Adapted from Fields of Greens restaurant cookbook.

Cannellini Beans with Pancetta, Fried Sage, and Grilled Sausages image

Pancetta (Italian bacon) combines with aromatic fried sage to impart rich flavor to cannellini beans in this dish that's completed with a side of grilled sausages.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups dried cannellini beans (12 ounces)
1 3/4 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/3 cup packed sage leaves
6 thin slices pancetta or bacon
12 sausage links, such as chicken, turkey, or pork, halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes, or to taste
2 teaspoons truffle oil (optional)
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Put beans in a large bowl; cover with cold water by 2 inches. Loosely cover; let soak overnight at room temperature.
  • Drain beans; transfer to a large saucepan. Cover with cold water by 2 inches; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, adding more water if necessary to keep beans covered, until beans are tender (add 1 teaspoon salt after 45 minutes), about 1 hour. Drain beans; set aside.
  • Heat 1 inch vegetable oil in a 4-quart heavy-bottom saucepan until it registers 365 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in small batches, fry sage leaves, turning them occasionally, until crisp, about 10 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Immediately season with salt. (Adjust heat between batches as necessary to keep oil at a steady temperature.) Coarsely crumble two-thirds of the sage leaves; set aside. Set aside whole leaves.
  • Cook pancetta in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, turning once, until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain. Reserve fat in skillet with heat off. Coarsely crumble pancetta; set aside.
  • Preheat grill to medium. (Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium heat until hot.) Grill sausages, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 3 to 6 minutes (cooking time will depend on size of links and whether sausages are precooked). Transfer to a serving platter; cover to keep warm.
  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to reserved fat in skillet, and heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add reserved beans and the red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until warm, about 2 minutes.
  • Put beans in a large serving bowl, and add reserved crumbled pancetta and crumbled sage leaves, along with the truffle oil, if desired, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Season with pepper.
  • Just before serving, drizzle beans with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and garnish with reserved whole sage leaves. Serve with sausages.
