Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup plus 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 (14- to 15-ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 (19-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (3 cups)
1 (1/2-pound) piece baked ham (1/2 to 3/4 inch thick), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (5-ounce) bag baby romaine or baby arugula (10 cups loosely packed)
8 (3/4-inch-thick) slices baguette

Steps:

  • Cook garlic in 1/4 cup oil in a 3 1/2- to 4 1/2-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Coarsely cut up tomatoes in can with kitchen shears, then add (with juice) to garlic in oil. Stir in broth, beans, ham, and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Stir in greens and cook until wilted, 3 minutes for romaine or 1 minute for arugula.
  • While stew is simmering, preheat broiler. Put bread on a baking sheet and drizzle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat until golden, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Serve stew with toasts.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover carrots and celery, and they worked perfectly in this recipe.

This recipe is a bit pricey, especially if you don't have any leftover ham. But it's worth it for a special occasion.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stew turned out watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This stew was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices, and it was much better.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the ham from this recipe. The stew was still delicious without it.
