1 pound dried white beans, such as Great Northern or cannellini, picked over, rinsed, and drained
1 onion, 1 half finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 carrot, cut crosswise into thirds
1 celery stalk, cut crosswise into thirds
1 dried bay leaf
1 can (28 ounces) whole plum tomatoes, with juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Soak beans in water overnight. Drain, and transfer to a large pot. Cover beans with 4 inches water. Add the intact half of the onion, the carrot, celery, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until beans are tender but not bursting, about 1 hour. Drain, and remove onion, carrot, celery, and bay leaf; discard.
  • Pulse tomatoes, with juice, in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Heat oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, the garlic, and red-pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion and garlic are tender but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and rosemary. Bring to a boil.
  • Add beans, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomato sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm, and drizzle with oil just before serving.

ROASTED TOMATO AND WHITE BEAN STEW



Roasted Tomato and White Bean Stew image

This hearty, flexible stew comes together with pantry ingredients and delivers layers of flavors. Cherry tomatoes, roasted in a generous glug of olive oil to amplify their sweetness, lend a welcome brightness to this otherwise rich dish. Onion, garlic and red-pepper flakes form the backbone of this dish, to which white beans and broth are added, then simmered until thick. While this stew is lovely on its own, you could also add wilt-able greens such as kale, escarole or Swiss chard at the end, and toasted bread crumbs on top. The dish is vegan as written, but should you choose to top your bowl with a showering of grated pecorino or Parmesan, it would most likely work well in your favor.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup roughly chopped Italian parsley leaves and tender stems
2 teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 large lemon)
2 (10-ounce) containers cherry or grape tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons and more for drizzling (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 (15-ounce) cans white beans (such as butter or cannellini), rinsed
1 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth, or water
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)
Toasted bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, gently toss together the parsley and lemon zest with your hands until well combined; set aside.
  • In a large baking dish or on a sheet pan, toss the tomatoes with 1/4 cup oil and thyme; season well with salt and pepper. Roast tomatoes until they have collapsed and begin to turn golden around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • When the tomatoes are almost done roasting, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large (12-inch), deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion, garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the rinsed beans and broth and bring to a simmer. With the back of a spoon or spatula, gently smash about ½ cup of the beans so they slightly thicken the broth. If you want a thicker stew, crush some more of the beans. Season with salt and pepper.
  • When the tomatoes are finished roasting, add them directly to the stew along with any juices that have been released. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes more so the flavors become friendly; season to taste with salt.
  • Ladle into shallow bowls. Top each serving with some of the lemon-parsley mixture and drizzle with some more olive oil, and season with flaky salt, if you like. Serve with toasted bread.

Provided by Chuck Hughes

Categories     main-dish

Time 13h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups dry white beans or rinsed canned white beans
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes
3 cups veal stock
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 veal chops
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Zests of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • For a comforting and easy to make main course try Chuck Hughes' seared veal chops served with cherry tomatoes and white beans
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the beans: Soak the dry beans overnight in water. Rinse and drain the beans. In an ovensafe saute pan, heat the oil and add the shallot, sauteing until translucent. Add the garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, white beans, and veal stock. Stir and add rosemary and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
  • For the veal chops: Season the veal chops with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, sear the veal chops in vegetable oil until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes each. Remove from skillet and put the veal chops in the oven for about 12 minutes.
  • For serving: When ready to serve, spoon tomato and bean mixture on top of veal chops. Garnish with lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with thick slices of grilled country bread, some olive oil and grated garlic.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: This helps to reduce the cooking time and makes the beans more digestible.
  • Use a variety of beans: Different types of beans have different flavors and textures, so using a mix can add depth and interest to your stew.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes will give your stew the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the stew.
  • Add vegetables to your stew: Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and color to your stew. Some good options include onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Season your stew to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of red wine or vinegar to brighten the flavors.

Conclusion:

Stewed white beans with tomatoes is a hearty, flavorful, and versatile dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual gathering. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying stew that everyone will enjoy.
