Cannellini-Bean and Greens Stew image

Half of the beans are mashed while the rest are left whole, giving this hearty one-pot stew a wonderfully chunky texture. Toasted ciabatta flavored with sage and garlic makes the perfect accompaniment.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
4 slices (each 1 inch thick) ciabatta (from a 12-ounce loaf)
3 sprigs sage, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage leaves
3 cloves garlic, peeled, 2 thinly sliced
Kosher salt and red-pepper flakes
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds (3/4 cup)
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
2 cans (each 15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
4 cups assorted baby greens, such as kale, spinach, and chard
Grated Parmesan or Grana Padano, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add bread; cook, flipping once and adding sage sprigs halfway through, until toasted, 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate; lightly rub one side with whole garlic clove. Season with salt.
  • Discard oil; return skillet to medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, sliced garlic, carrots, and chopped sage; season with salt and pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until garlic is golden. Add wine; cook until evaporated, 2 minutes. Stir in beans and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until carrots are tender and liquid has reduced slightly, 25 minutes. Transfer 1 cup beans to a bowl; mash and return to pot. Stir in greens just until wilted; season with salt. Serve over toast, with cheese and a drizzle of oil.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. I also like to add a can of diced tomatoes for extra flavor.

Not bad! Will definitely make again. Next time I'll add some Italian sausage to bulk it up.

I found the stew to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more salt and pepper, or using a different type of greens that has a stronger flavor.

The stew had too much liquid for my taste. I would suggest reducing the amount of broth or adding more beans.

This stew was easy to make and very tasty. I used frozen collard greens and they worked great. I also added some diced carrots and celery for extra veggies.

I've made this stew several times and it's always a hit. The cannellini beans are creamy and the greens are tender. I like to add a little extra garlic and red pepper flakes for a bit of a kick. Yum!
