Time 1h15m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons dried white beans, soaked in water overnight, drained
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon truffle oil
8 whole, fresh artichoke hearts, cooked until tender
1/2 teaspoon chopped truffle, optional
1 cup mache
4 teaspoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • Place the beans and the garlic in a saucepan and cover with water. Place over medium heat and simmer until beans are tender, about 40 minutes, adding more water if necessary to keep the beans covered. Drain and place the beans in a food processor. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper and process until smooth.
  • Place the cream in a bowl and whip with a whisk until the cream holds soft peaks. Fold the cream into the bean puree. Adjust seasoning if needed and refrigerate until cold and firm.
  • Place the vinegar in a mixing bowl and whisk in the olive oil and truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cut 4 of the artichoke hearts into wedges.
  • To serve, place 1 whole artichoke heart in the center of each of 4 plates. Spoon the bean puree into the center of the artichoke hearts. Arrange the artichoke wedges around the plates. Season with salt and pepper. Stir the chopped truffle, if using, into the vinaigrette and spoon it over the dish. Garnish with the mache and sprinkle with chives. Serve cold.

I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The truffle vinaigrette was too overpowering for me. I would recommend using a lighter vinaigrette.

I found that this dish was a little bland. I added some extra salt and pepper to taste.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover white beans. I always have a can or two in my pantry.

I would recommend using fresh artichokes if you can find them. They have a much better flavor than canned artichokes.

I wasn't sure about the artichokes at first, but they actually worked really well in this dish. They added a nice crunch and texture.
