WHITE BEAN AND MUSHROOM STEW
Rosemary and white beans are always a winning combination, and adding cremini mushrooms and tomatoes makes the pairing even more delicious. The beans break down as they cook, giving this stew a wonderfully creamy consistency.

BAKED MUSHROOMS AND WHITE BEANS WITH BUTTERY BREAD CRUMBS
Not really a ragout and not quite a gratin, this hearty meatless casserole has it all: deeply browned mushrooms, creamy white beans, salty feta and crisp bread crumbs. The result is rich, comforting and perfect for a cold night in. Fresh bread crumbs are worth making or seeking out for texture's sake, but panko will also work nicely. Toss the bread crumbs with melted butter, then briefly broil them for a golden, crunchy topping, a nice contrast to the dish's silkiness. Paired with a bright salad and a hunk of good bread, this dish works well as a vegetarian main course, or as a companion to sausages and other roasted meats.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare the mushrooms: In a large (12-inch) ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until they begin to brown and crisp around the edges, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the butter, shallot, garlic and thyme, and stir until the shallot has softened slightly and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt.
- Turn off the heat and stir the white beans into the skillet. Toss until combined, then top evenly with feta. Add the stock and bake until the stock is slightly bubbling and the feta has slightly softened, 13 to 15 minutes.
- While the beans bake, make your bread crumbs: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Turn off the heat, add the crumbs and toss until evenly covered with butter. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the mushroom mixture from the oven and turn on the broil setting. Top the mushrooms and beans with the bread crumbs, then broil until the bread crumbs are golden and the feta is crisp on the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. (Don't walk away!) Scatter with parsley and serve directly from the pan.

Steps:
- Trim the root end and the tough, dark green top of the leek and remove any thick outer layers. Cut the leek in half lengthwise, then slice into ¼-inch (6-mm) thick half moons.
- Transfer to a bowl of water and shake around with your fingers to loosen any dirt or grit. Let the leeks sit in the water for a couple minutes to let any grit to sink to the bottom of the bowl. Carefully remove the cleaned leeks from the bowl, leaving the dirty water behind.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy and most of the fat has rendered, about 8 minutes.
- Add the leeks, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and garlic. Season with salt. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables have released their juices and begin to soften.
- Add the thyme leaves, tomatoes, beans, and vegetable stock. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes until slightly reduced and hot throughout. Season with more salt, to taste.

RUSTIC WHITE BEAN AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE
From the Veganomicon. I'm not normally a bean purist, but this turns out much better if you don't substitute the dried beans for canned. Just try to soak the beans overnight or while you're at work during the day.

Steps:
- Drain and rinse beans. Add to stockpot with 4 c cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 minutes. Skim off any white foam from the top. Cover the pot and lower the heat to medium. Add the onion, celery, carrot, thyme and tarragon. Simmer for about 45 minutes.
- Remove the carrot, onion and celery (either discard or use in a stock). Lower the heat to low and continue to simmer. The beans should resemble a thick stew, if there's too much liquid, leave the pot uncovered and stir occasionally.
- About 10 minutes before the beans are done, place the garlic and 2 T oil in a cold skillet. Heat the skillet over medium heat, allowing the garlic to sizzle for about 30 seconds. Add the chopped leeks and saute 1-2 minutes. Scrape the leeks into the beans.
- Add the remaining 2 T oil, allow to warm, and add the mushrooms. Sprinkle the mushrooms lightly with 1/2 t salt and saute until most of the mushroom liquid has evaporated, anywhere from 8-12 minutes depending on the types of mushrooms. Add the mushrooms to the beans.
- Turn off the heat and season the beans with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Make the sage bread crumbs: Melt the margarine in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bread crumbs, walnuts, sage, oregano, and paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Stir constantly until the mixture is lightly coated, 3-4 minute Remove from the heat.
- Pour the beans into a casserole dish. Top with the sage bread crumbs. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the bread crumbs are golden and the beans are bubbling.
