Categories     Onions

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups dried cannellini beans (soaked overnight in plenty of water with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda)
1 pinch saffron thread (a generous pinch, crushed)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 medium onions, thinly slices
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Drain the beans & rinse well, then place them in a large saucepan.
  • Add the 1 generous pinch of saffron threads (crushed) & 1 1/2 quarts water, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Add butter, then reduce heat to low & simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the onions, parsley & pepper & cook for another 30 minutes or until beans are tender. Stir occasionally to make sure beans are not sticking.
  • Just before beans are ready, add salt to taste.
  • If sauce is too thick, add a little water, but if it's too thin, increase the heat to high & boil until thickened, stirring regularly so that the beans don't stick.
  • Taste & adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
  • Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a little too much cayenne pepper. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I would definitely make it again.

I love fassuliah kdra! It's one of my favorite Moroccan dishes. This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a few extra spices, like cumin and paprika.
