"My wife, Jennie, is a wonderful cook who's generally skeptical about my kitchen experiments. But she likes this recipe well enough to give me temporary kitchen privileges...and even encouraged me to enter this contest! If you can't find the soup called for here, nacho or cheese soup make easy substitutes," suggests Mike Kirschbaum in Cary, North Carolina.

BEANS MARBELLA



Beans Marbella image

This recipe started as a wisp of an idea in The Veggie, our weekly newsletter about vegetarian home cooking, inspired by that iconic dish chicken Marbella, made famous in "The Silver Palate Cookbook." Instead of chicken, a pot of thin-skinned, creamy beans and their rich cooking liquid form the base, which are then added to a pan of fried garlic and reduced red wine with plenty of olive oil, prunes and olives. They're then topped with a simple roasted potato salad, dressed with vinegar-soaked shallots, capers and parsley. It's not an exact replica of chicken Marbella, but it's a beautiful and satisfying way to enjoy its familiar flavors - the tangy, briny sharpness of vinegar, capers and olives, set against the sweetness of prunes. You can serve the dish as is, but it's even more luxurious with some thickly sliced and toasted bread, brushed with olive oil and garlic.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound dried beans (preferably thin-skinned, creamy beans like cannellini or great Northern beans)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for finishing
3 fresh or dried bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and freshly ground pepper
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup halved Castelvetrano olives
1/2 cup roughly chopped prunes
1 pound fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and freshly ground pepper
1 large shallot, minced
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped capers
Torn fresh parsley leaves and tender stems

Steps:

  • Start the beans: Rinse the beans then add them to a large, heavy pot and cover with enough cool water to generously immerse (about 12 cups). Add ¼ cup olive oil, the bay leaves, oregano and 1 teaspoon salt, then bring to a boil over high heat. Once the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very tender, 1½ to 2 hours. Add extra water by the cupful as needed to keep the beans immersed.
  • Prepare the potatoes: Heat the oven to 375 degrees. On a large sheet pan, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast, stirring once about halfway through, until the potatoes are golden-brown and tender, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
  • Finish the beans: In a large, deep skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant. As soon as the edges of the garlic start to color, add the red wine and simmer until the wine is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked beans (you should have about 7 cups) to the reduced wine in the skillet, then add about 2 cups of their cooking liquid - you want just enough to mostly cover the beans. Add the olives, prunes and another ¼ cup olive oil, and simmer over medium, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the liquid thickens slightly to form a sauce, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Finish the potatoes: In a medium bowl, combine the minced shallot with the red wine vinegar. Add the potatoes, capers and parsley, and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Tip the potatoes on top of the beans, drizzle with olive oil and serve.

CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS OVER PASTA



Chicken With Black Beans over Pasta image

If you wish you may make this a day ahead and let it mellow in the fridge or just make and serve. It may be doubled. Personally I like spicy and would add an additional tsp of Cayenne. This recipe is not very spicy. Use your favorite pasta or if you prefer serve with rice. Tip: To cube the chicken have it half frozen before cutting. You may substitute regular vinegar but balsamic is best.

1/4 cup Spanish olives with pimento
1/4 cup onion, diced
1 lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons olive oil (Divided)
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup water, from the pasta pot

Tips:

  • For the green beans, choose fresh, tender beans. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
