Steps:
- Drain the beans over a bowl and reserve the liquid. Put the white beans in a large skillet with just enough of their liquid to moisten them. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and bring the beans to a low simmer. Keep them warm while you prepare the shrimp.
- Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and cook for about 1 minute, tossing frequently. Remove the shrimp with tongs to a bowl. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until the garlic browns. Add the serrano chile or chili flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato and basil and stir briefly, then add the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute, and then stir in the shrimp. Toss well and cook briefly to reheat the shrimp. Remove the shrimp mixture to a plate and sprinkle with parsley.
- Spoon the white beans on a platter or individual plates. Drizzle them with the best olive oil you have, and then top with the shrimp. Serve warm.

This is from Vegan Planet. I made it last night and it was excellent. I would describe it as a very elegant stew. The subtle hint of orange gives it a refined taste.

CREAMY WHITE BEAN AND FENNEL CASSEROLE
This one-pan recipe melds roasted fennel, creamy white beans and salty Parmesan, and tops it with crunchy lemon-zested panko. Fennel is often dismissed because of its perceived licorice notes, but the anise flavor is significantly muted after the vegetable is cooked. Tuck fresh, sliced sausages into the mixture before baking to imitate a simplified cassoulet, turn it into a side dish by pairing it with meat or let the dish live as a main, served with a simple green salad and some rustic bread to sop up the sauce. Reserve the fresh fennel fronds for garnish, which add concentrated fennel flavor and a pop of green.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Trim the fennel. Cut it in half lengthwise and slice it crosswise, about 1/4-inch thick (reserve about 1/4 cup roughly chopped fennel fronds). Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Add the sliced fennel, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but still retaining a little bite, about 12 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour 1 can white beans and its liquid into a blender. Add the heavy cream, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons olive oil and purée until smooth. Drain and rinse the remaining can of beans and transfer it to the skillet along with the bean purée. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Mix the panko with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl. Add the Parmesan, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss to coat. Sprinkle evenly over the fennel-white bean mixture.
- Bake until bubbly and lightly golden on top, about 15 minutes. Broil until topping is browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes, if desired. Top with reserved fennel fronds and serve.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Can be refrigerated up to two days, but serve at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use dried beans for a more flavorful stew. If you don't have time to soak and cook dried beans, you can use canned beans, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Soak the beans overnight before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
- Use a variety of vegetables for a more flavorful stew. The recipe calls for fennel, carrots, and celery, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, zucchini, or kale.
- Don't be afraid to add some spice. A pinch of chili flakes or a teaspoon of cumin can add a nice depth of flavor to the stew.
- Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or rice. This will help soak up the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Tuscan white bean and fennel stew with orange and rosemary is a hearty and flavorful stew that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
