Categories     side dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound dry white beans
2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
8 ripe tomatoes
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Soak the beans in water to cover overnight. Place in a large pot with the chicken stock and add water to cover. Simmer 45 minutes to an hour, or until the beans are tender.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 300 degrees. Slice the tomatoes very thin and place them on an oiled roasting dish. You will probably need two dishes. Roast for 30 minutes to an hour, or until they begin to shrivel up and get brown around the edges. Remove from the oven, scrape up with a spatula and set aside. The tomatoes will not hold their shape but this does not matter.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Pour the roasted tomatoes into the pasta pot, add the garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the basil and additional salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to combine.

PENNE WITH PAN-ROASTED TOMATOES AND WHITE BEANS



Penne with Pan-Roasted Tomatoes and White Beans image

This pasta dish is pretty spectacular. It's just a few ingredients that combine to make something fabulous-and that, in a nutshell, is the secret of Italian cooking. The roasted tomatoes and roasted garlic are rich and delicious, the beans add protein and texture, and the basil brings a fresh flavor.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound uncooked penne pasta
4 Roma tomatoes
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (15-ounce) can white beans
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander and return it to the pot.
  • Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes in half, scrape the seeds out of each half with a small tool or your finger, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Peel the garlic and leave the cloves whole. Coarsely chop the basil leaves.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and garlic, cover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the garlic is soft. Remove the garlic from the pan and set aside. Put the beans in a strainer and rinse under running water. Drain the beans and add them to the pan, then remove the pan from the heat. Smash the garlic with a fork and add it to the drained pasta. Add the tomatoes and basil, stir well, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the pasta into a large serving bowl, sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
  • Basil is native to India, though it's since become integral to the cooking of countries as far a field as Italy and Thailand. When it migrated to Italy, it became a symbol of love, with young women wearing sprigs in their hair to encourage their suitors.

ROASTED TOMATO AND WHITE BEAN STEW



Roasted Tomato and White Bean Stew image

This hearty, flexible stew comes together with pantry ingredients and delivers layers of flavors. Cherry tomatoes, roasted in a generous glug of olive oil to amplify their sweetness, lend a welcome brightness to this otherwise rich dish. Onion, garlic and red-pepper flakes form the backbone of this dish, to which white beans and broth are added, then simmered until thick. While this stew is lovely on its own, you could also add wilt-able greens such as kale, escarole or Swiss chard at the end, and toasted bread crumbs on top. The dish is vegan as written, but should you choose to top your bowl with a showering of grated pecorino or Parmesan, it would most likely work well in your favor.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, weeknight, beans, soups and stews, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup roughly chopped Italian parsley leaves and tender stems
2 teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 large lemon)
2 (10-ounce) containers cherry or grape tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons and more for drizzling (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 (15-ounce) cans white beans (such as butter or cannellini), rinsed
1 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth, or water
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)
Toasted bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, gently toss together the parsley and lemon zest with your hands until well combined; set aside.
  • In a large baking dish or on a sheet pan, toss the tomatoes with 1/4 cup oil and thyme; season well with salt and pepper. Roast tomatoes until they have collapsed and begin to turn golden around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • When the tomatoes are almost done roasting, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large (12-inch), deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion, garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the rinsed beans and broth and bring to a simmer. With the back of a spoon or spatula, gently smash about ½ cup of the beans so they slightly thicken the broth. If you want a thicker stew, crush some more of the beans. Season with salt and pepper.
  • When the tomatoes are finished roasting, add them directly to the stew along with any juices that have been released. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes more so the flavors become friendly; season to taste with salt.
  • Ladle into shallow bowls. Top each serving with some of the lemon-parsley mixture and drizzle with some more olive oil, and season with flaky salt, if you like. Serve with toasted bread.

WHITE BEANS, POLENTA, ROASTED TOMATOES AND GARLIC



White Beans, Polenta, Roasted Tomatoes and Garlic image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings as main course

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 cloves garlic, peeled
Canola oil for greasing pan
4 plum tomatoes, halved and seeded
6 sage leaves, chopped
1 cup chicken or beef stock
1 15 1/2-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups water
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup instant polenta

Steps:

  • To make the beans, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Fill a small saucepan with enough water to cover the garlic. When water boils add garlic and cook one minute. Drain and repeat this procedure three times -- it will eliminate the harshness and leave the flavor. Mash the garlic with garlic press; set aside.
  • Lightly oil a roasting pan and place tomatoes in pan. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, turning once, until juice is released and skins have puckered. When tomatoes are ready, peel and add to pot large enough to hold all the ingredients for the beans.
  • Add the garlic, sage, stock and beans. Simmer until mixture is thick and most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt if desired and pepper.
  • To make the polenta meanwhile, boil water in small pot with the butter, milk and salt.
  • When water boils, reduce heat slightly and slowly whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to very low and cook the polenta 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • To serve, spoon polenta into a shallow bowl or plate and spoon bean sauce over top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. If you can, use heirloom or Roma tomatoes, as they have a more concentrated flavor than other varieties.
  • Roast the tomatoes properly: Roasting the tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and intensifies their flavor. Make sure to roast them until they are slightly caramelized and starting to burst.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil. It will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the tomatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from roasting evenly and will make them more likely to steam.
  • Season the beans well: Be generous with the salt and pepper when seasoning the beans. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more flavorful.

Conclusion:

This white bean and roasted tomato dish is a simple but flavorful meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your beans more or less soupy, or you want to add some extra vegetables, this dish is a great starting point for a delicious and healthy meal.
