Time 7h

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups white beans
1 leek or yellow onion (diced)
1 carrot (chopped)

7 cloves garlic (chopped)

bread + garlic for bruschetta ((1 slice/ person))

Steps:

  • Rinse and pick the beans then cover them with water and soak for 6 hours or overnight. Drain.
  • In a large heavy bottom pot heat up a good lug of olive oil and saute the leek (or onion) with the carrot and celery until they begin to soften.
  • Quickly stir in the chopped garlic and cook for a few seconds just until fragrant then add the soaked beans.
  • Pour in the water and bring to a constant simmer. Add the bay, sage and rosemary, cover with a lid and cook for 45 minutes or until the beans are soft and tender to your liking.
  • Check the beans half way through cooking and see if you might need to add extra water if they are absorbing lots of liquid.
  • Once your beans are perfectly cooked remove from heat, stir in the nutritional yeast and season to taste with the smoked sea salt.
  • Meanwhile grill the bread on both sides until nice dark char marks form. Rub each slice on both sides with a garlic clove, lightly brush with some olive oil and finish with sea salt.

Slow Cooker Ribollita image

Ribollita is like a heartier version of minestrone, thickened with bread and redolent with garlic. It is a beautiful soup when it's fresh from the pot, but it is also perhaps the most noble of leftovers.

Provided by Hugh Acheson

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound dried cannellini beans
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large sweet onion, small-diced
Kosher salt
2 large carrots, small-diced
3 celery stalks, small-diced
1/2 large butternut squash, peeled and small-diced (2 cups)
1 head garlic, cloves separated, peeled, and thinly sliced
1 (28-ounce) can San Marzano tomatoes, drained
Bouquet garni: 2 bay leaves plus a couple sprigs each of fresh sage, oregano, flat-leaf parsley, and thyme, tied together with twine
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound cavolo nero (a.k.a. dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale), leaves torn into small pieces, stems finely minced
3 cups torn country bread, toasted
1 1/2 cups finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Special Equipment
6-quart (or larger) slow cooker

Steps:

  • Place the beans in a large bowl and add cold water to cover by 3 inches. Cover the bowl and soak the beans in the refrigerator overnight.
  • The next day, pour the beans and their soaking liquid into a slow cooker. Add enough fresh water to cover the beans by 2 inches, cover with the lid, and cook on the high setting for 4 hours.
  • Place a very large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, and when the oil shimmers, add the onion. Season with salt and cook for 5 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until softened. Add the carrots, celery, butternut squash, and garlic, and cook for 5 more minutes, until starting to soften. Transfer the vegetables to the slow cooker. Add the tomatoes, crushing each one in your hand as you add it. Add the bouquet garni, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 tablespoon of the red pepper flakes. Cook on the low setting for 3 hours.
  • Uncover the slow cooker, remove the bouquet garni, and add the kale, bread, 1 cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano, and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes. Stir the soup well, season with more salt to taste, and serve with the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano sprinkled on top.
