TUSCAN CANNELLINI BEANS



Tuscan Cannellini Beans image

An amazing side dish to Italian meats--pairs especially well with porchetta. I have a hard time finding dry cannellinis, so this recipe calls for canned. But if you can find the dry, I'd roll with that.

Provided by Brian Genest

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon butter
1 cup chopped pancetta
½ cup chopped white onion
⅓ cup chopped carrots
⅓ cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
½ cup dry white wine
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups chicken stock
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add pancetta; cook and stir until browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove pancetta but leave grease in the pot. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Saute until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in white wine and bring to a boil while scraping up any browned bits from the pot with a wooden spoon. Boil until reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add in cannellini beans, chicken stock, Parmesan cheese, cream, rosemary, oregano, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring every so often to avoid burning, until the cheese and starch in the beans have thickened the liquid to a sauce-like consistency, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
