Bruschetta with White Beans, Sun-dried Tomatoes and Basil image

Chef's note: The flavor from cooked dried beans is delicious, but you can also use canned white beans here if you want to make this recipe and you don't have time to cook the beans from scratch. Substitute 1 (15-ounce) can of white cannelloni beans, drained, with a bit of the bean liquid reserved.

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup cannelloni beans
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small baguette, sliced into thick pieces
1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic, plus 1 garlic clove, peeled, for coating bread
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
8 to 10 basil leaves
1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Lemon juice
Salt and fresh black pepper
2 ounces ricotta salata cheese, grated large

Steps:

  • Rinse the beans well and then put in a 1-quart saucepan. Cover with water to 1-inch over the top of the beans. On medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Immediately take the pot away from the burner, cover and hold for 1 hour. Change the water; add half of the extra-virgin olive oil, 1 garlic clove and the bay leaf. Cook beans on low. Simmer for about 40 minutes or until tender. During last 10 minutes, add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in carefully. Remove from heat and hold in the saucepan with the cooking liquid until cool. This may be done 1 to 2 days before serving, and kept refrigerated.
  • For the bruschetta topping:
  • Preheat a grill or stove-top grill pan.
  • Grill the bread on both sides until crispy. Be careful on high heat as bread burns easily.
  • While bread is grilling, in a saute pan on medium heat, toast the sliced garlic in the olive oil. When it is light golden, add the chili flakes, cook for 10 seconds and then add the basil leaves. Do this carefully, as the basil may spatter some oil.
  • With a slotted spoon, transfer the beans to the pan. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the bean cooking liquid (or liquid from canned beans) and mix all together. Hold warm. Adjust consistency, as necessary, with the bean liquid, a little at a time.
  • When the basil leaves are wilted, remove mixture from the heat. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and chopped parsley. Toss to combine and adjust the seasoning with lemon juice, to taste, and salt and pepper.
  • Lightly swipe the remaining garlic clove on 1 side of the bread. Arrange the toasted bruschetta on a serving platter and drizzle with the remaining extra-virgin olive oil. Top each piece with some of the tomato-bean mixture, then evenly divide the ricotta salata over the mixture. Serve warm.

Skillet Bruschetta with Beans and Greens image

Categories     Appetizer     Quick & Easy     Buffet     Spring     Summer     Bon Appétit     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 3/4"-thick slices crusty bread
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 15-ounces cans cannellini beans, rinsed
1 bunch kale or mustard greens, ribs removed, leaves torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brush bread on both sides with 4 tablespoons oil total. Working in 2 batches, cook bread, pressing occasionally to help crisp, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Season toast with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to blister, about 3 minutes. Using a spoon, lightly mash about half of the beans. Add kale and broth and cook, tossing often, until kale is wilted, about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve beans and greens mixture over toast, drizzled with oil.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are meaty and have fewer seeds.
  • If you don't have time to roast your own tomatoes, you can use sun-dried tomatoes. Just be sure to rehydrate them before using.
  • Cannellini beans are a great source of protein and fiber. You can use canned or dried beans for this recipe.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. Just be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Serve bruschetta immediately after it is made. The bread will get soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Bruschetta with cannellini beans and herbs is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties or potlucks. The combination of roasted tomatoes, cannellini beans, and herbs is flavorful and satisfying. This recipe is also a good way to use up leftover bread.
