Creamy White Beans With Herb Oil image

Canned beans are transformed into a hearty, elegant main swirled with an herb oil that comes together in no time with the aid of a food processor. This particular oil includes chives, cilantro and basil, but feel free to use what you have on hand. Parsley and mint would also work well. Serve with a chilled glass of red wine, a big green salad and a loaf of crusty bread.

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup roughly chopped chives
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems
1/2 cup tightly packed basil leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
Squeeze of lemon
Kosher salt, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, like butter beans or cannellini, rinsed and drained
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup chicken stock, vegetable stock or water
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the oil: In a food processor, combine chives, cilantro and basil, and pulse until finely chopped. Add olive oil, and pulse again until mixture is silky and emulsified. Transfer to a small bowl, stir in lemon juice and salt to taste. Set aside.
  • Prepare the beans: In a 10-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook until translucent, about 1 minute. Add beans to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded, about 2 to 3 minutes. With the back of a spoon or spatula, smash about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the beans and stir until they are incorporated into the rest of the bean mixture. A good portion of the remaining beans should maintain their structure.
  • Add stock or water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until sauce becomes creamy and is reduced by about about half, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Smash additional beans and add a few more tablespoons of water, if needed, to reach desired consistency and stir again to combined.
  • Transfer beans to a bowl and swirl with herb oil on top. Season with flaky salt, if desired.
