Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 pound cannellini beans or dried lima beans, rinsed, picked over and soaked if desired
1 medium or large onion
4 garlic cloves, 2 peeled and crushed, 2 minced
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf, a couple of sprigs of thyme and parsley, and a Parmesan rind
5 cups water
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds mixed summer squash, diced
1 pound tomatoes, grated, or peeled, seeded and chopped
Freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 to 2 tablespoons slivered fresh basil or mint
Freshly grated Parmesan for serving

Steps:

  • Soak the beans if desired. I do not recommend soaking lima beans, as their skins detach too easily when you soak them. I usually do soak cannellinis. Cut the onion in half. Chop one half and set aside.
  • Combine the beans, the onion half that isn't chopped, the 2 crushed garlic cloves and the bouquet garni in a large saucepan. Add 5 cups of water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 1 hour. Add salt to taste and simmer for another hour, until the beans are tender. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning. Remove the onion and the bouquet garni and discard
  • Meanwhile, in a large casserole or deep, wide skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Cook, stirring often, until it is tender, about 5 minutes, and add the minced garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is fragrant, and add the summer squash. Turn up the heat slightly so that the squash begins to cook right away, and sauté until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and add the thyme and the tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, until the tomatoes have begun to break down. Turn the heat to medium, season with salt and pepper, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring often. The tomatoes should have cooked down and smell fragrant. Stir in the beans and their broth, bring to a simmer and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in the basil, taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot or warm, tossed with pasta, over grains, or as is.

Time 25m

Yield 4 1 1/4 cups each, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 medium summer squash, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 (15 -19 ounce) can cannellini beans (see Tip) or 1 (15 -19 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed (see Tip)
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/3 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Add zucchini, summer squash, oregano, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook, stirring once, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Serve with: Brown rice or bulgur.
  • TIP: While we love the convenience of canned beans, they tend to be high in sodium. Give them a good rinse before adding to a recipe to rid them of some of their sodium (up to 35 percent) or opt for low-sodium or no-salt-added varieties. Or, if you have the time, cook your own beans from scratch.

ZUCCHINI AND WHITE BEAN CAESAR



Zucchini and White Bean Caesar image

Ribbons of raw zucchini take well to the Caesar treatment in mostly no-cook dinner. If you have lots of summer squash, this easy summer meal is the answer.

Provided by Rebecca Firkser

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ small loaf crusty bread (such as country-style, ciabatta, or baguette)
⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided; plus more for serving (optional)
½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt, divided, plus more
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large egg yolks*
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest, plus more for serving
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
3 tsp. Dijon mustard
3 oil-packed anchovy fillets
1½ oz. Parmesan, finely grated, plus more for serving
1½ lb. zucchini (about 6 medium), shaved into ribbons lengthwise with a vegetable peeler
1 15.5-oz. can white beans (such as cannellini, butter, or navy), rinsed, patted dry
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Tear ½ small loaf crusty bread (such as country-style, ciabatta, or baguette) into 1" pieces (you should have about 4 cups). Heat ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add bread and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Whisk together 2 large egg yolks*, 2 large garlic cloves, finely grated, 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest, ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, and 3 tsp. Dijon mustard in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually pour in ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil, starting drop by drop and increasing to a steady stream. (To keep the bowl from sliding as you whisk, set inside a snugly fitting saucepan or wrap a damp kitchen towel around base of bowl to stabilize.) Whisk until mixture is emulsified and achieves a consistency between heavy cream and mayonnaise. (Alternatively, you can use a food processor, first pulsing egg yolk mixture together, then running the motor while you gradually stream in oil.)
  • Finely chop 3 oil-packed anchovy fillets, then sprinkle with salt and use the side of your knife to mash into a paste; scrape into egg yolk mixture. Add 1½ oz. Parmesan, finely grated, ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. kosher salt, and lots of pepper; whisk to combine. Taste dressing and season with more salt and pepper if needed (dressing should be pretty assertive-we're about to add lots of bread, zucchini, and beans).
  • Place croutons, 1½ lb. zucchini (about 6 medium), shaved into ribbons lengthwise with a vegetable peeler, and one 15.5-oz. can white beans (such as cannellini, butter, or navy), rinsed, patted dry, in a large bowl; drizzle with dressing and toss gently to coat.
  • Divide salad among plates and top with more Parmesan and lemon zest, season with more pepper, and drizzle with more oil if desired. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over. *Raw egg is not recommended for infants, the elderly, pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems...or people who don't like raw eggs. Just use coddled egg yolks instead if needed.
