Baked Chipotle Cannellini Beans with Spinach and Cotija Cheese Recipe image

Provided by ClaudiaJan

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 or 5 15 oz cans of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (or cooked yourself)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 large cloves of garlic, minced
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1-2 tablespoons adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers
2/3 cup spinach
1/2 cup Cotija Cheese (or crumbled feta if you can't find Cotija)
1 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425F degrees. Bring the olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and minced garlic up to heat over a medium flame for about a minute. Stir in the tomatoes and the fresh oregano and bring to a gentle simmer. Off the heat, add the adobo sauce and taste. I added a little too much the first time I made this, so beware, adobo is powerful stuff. Salt and pepper to taste, but go easy on the salt, because I find that canned beans can be a touch salty. Add the beans and spinach, and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 baking pan and sprinkle with the cheese and breadcrumbs and bake in the top-third of the oven for roughly twenty-five minutes, or until it is browned and bubbly on top. Enjoy!

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder. I also think it would be better with a different type of cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said the chipotle peppers gave the dish a nice kick. I would recommend using less chipotle peppers if you don't like spicy food.
