Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
4 leaves fresh sage
1 sprig fresh rosemary
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 (16 ounce) cans navy beans, rinsed and drained
1 bay leaf
3 cups water, or as needed to cover
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomato and bell pepper; cook until pepper has softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in sage, rosemary, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer vegetable mixture to a large pot with beans and bay leaf over medium heat. Add enough water to cover. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding more water, a little at a time, if it looks like the beans are getting dry, about 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with chives and serve.

I love serving this stew with a side of crusty bread. It's the perfect way to soak up all the delicious sauce.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. Just shred the meat and add it to the stew.

I would love to try this stew with different types of beans. I think chickpeas or lentils would be a good substitute for the navy beans.

I found that the navy beans took a long time to cook. I would recommend soaking them overnight before cooking the stew.

This stew is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to give it a bit more flavor.
