WHITE BEAN AND ROASTED POTATO SALAD WITH ROSEMARY



White Bean and Roasted Potato Salad With Rosemary image

Freshly cooked white beans hold their shape better than canned ones, so unless you're really pinched for time, cook the beans yourself for this hearty, lively winter salad. Serve it as a side dish for roasted meats or chicken. If you omit the anchovies in the dressing (use capers instead), it would be an excellent meatless main course. If you have time, it's best to give the beans a proper soak (4 to 12 hours); if not, just tack 30 to 60 minutes onto the cooking time, adding more water as needed to keep them entirely covered.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 cups dried cannellini or Great Northern beans
1 1/2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt, more to taste
2 bay leaves, torn
1 garlic clove, smashed
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 3/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 cups hearty winter greens, kale, collard greens, cabbage or mustard greens
2 teaspoons lemon juice, more to taste
4 anchovy fillets (see note)
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, more to taste
Large pinch kosher salt, more to taste
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
Large pinch red chile flakes

Steps:

  • Put the beans in a bowl or pot, cover with water by 2 inches and add 1 1/2 tablespoons salt. Let soak 4 to 12 hours. Drain before using.
  • Put the soaked beans in a pot, cover with water by 2 inches and add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 bay leaf, the smashed garlic clove and 2 tablespoons oil. Bring to a boil, then simmer until tender, about 40 to 75 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with more salt if needed.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes: Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper and arrange in a single layer. Top with remaining bay leaf. Roast for 15 minutes, flip potatoes, then roast until golden and very tender, another 15 to 25 minutes.
  • While potatoes roast, make the dressing: In a blender, combine anchovies, garlic, vinegar and a large pinch of salt; blend until smooth, then blend in oil. Taste and add more salt or vinegar, or both, if needed. Transfer to a large bowl, stir in lemon zest, rosemary and chile flakes.
  • In a separate large bowl, toss greens with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the lemon juice and a large pinch of salt. Arrange on a large serving platter.
  • Toss the warm potatoes and beans into the bowl with the dressing and mix well. Taste and add more salt if necessary, and vinegar. Arrange on top of greens and serve.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons capers with brine
8 teaspoons Dijon mustard
8 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
1 large lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Position rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 425°F. Toss beans and capers in a 13x9" baking dish and spread out evenly on bottom of pan. Spread 1 tsp. mustard on skin of each chicken thigh and nestle, skin side up, into beans and capers. Arrange lemon slices under and around chicken and add enough water (about 1/3 cup) to come up sides of chicken by 1/2". Drizzle chicken with oil and season whole dish with salt and pepper.
  • Roast chicken, stirring and shaking dish halfway through, until skin is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165°F, about 35 minutes. If chicken skin starts to burn, move pan to a lower rack to finish cooking.
  • Transfer chicken, beans, lemon slices, and capers to a serving platter. Spoon some of the pan sauce around chicken and sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Look for plump, white beans, firm and juicy tomatoes, and crisp celery.
  • If you don't have time to roast your own chicken, you can use a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead. Just be sure to remove the skin and bones before adding it to the salad.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, simply cook and shred the chicken and chop the vegetables. Store the ingredients separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, combine the ingredients in a large bowl and toss with the dressing.
  • This salad is also great for meal prep. Simply divide the salad among individual containers and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to eat, just grab a container and go.
  • If you're looking for a lighter version of this salad, you can use low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt in the dressing. You can also reduce the amount of salt and sugar in the dressing to taste.
