White Beans With Rosemary And Vinegar Recipes

QUICK AND EASY WHITE BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Let the onion marinate in lemon juice: After you chop up the onion, squeeze a little lemon juice over it and let it sit while prepping the other ingredients. According to my mother, this will take the edge off the onion.
• Combine all ingredients into a serving dish: You can serve right away if you want, but if you chill for a few hours, the flavors will come together better. Lasts a couple of days in the refrigerator.

WHITE BEANS WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Soak overnight in 4 cups water: 1 cup dried white beans (cannellini, white runner, Great Northern, navy, and so on).
• Drain and transfer to a heavy pot. Add water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and skim off any foam. Simmer gently for 2 hours or so, until the beans are tender. Add more water if necessary during the cooking. Season to taste with: Salt.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or skillet, warm over low heat: 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil.
• Add: 4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped, 1 teaspoon coarsely chopped rosemary leaves.
• Cook just until the garlic is soft, about 2 minutes. Stir into the beans, taste for salt, and adjust as needed. Let the dish sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to marry.
• Variation
• Leaves of either sage or winter or summer savory are delicious substitutes for rosemary.

WHITE BEANS WITH ROSEMARY AND VINEGAR

Steps:

• Prepare the Braised Cannellini. (This can be done up to 2 days in advance. Refrigerate the beans in their liquid and bring them to a gentle simmer before continuing.)
• Heat the oil in a 3-quart pot or braising pan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour the beans into the pot and stir in the prosciutto, rosemary, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat so the beans are simmering. Season with salt and pepper and let simmer until the flavors have had a chance to blend, about 15 minutes. Remove the rosemary sprigs and serve.

VEAL CHOP WITH RADICCHIO, WHITE BEANS, AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Mince 1 garlic clove and mash to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then transfer to a shallow bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon rosemary, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add veal and turn once or twice to coat.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook veal, turning over once, until golden and just cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes total. Transfer veal to a plate.
• Finely chop remaining garlic clove and add to skillet, then cook over moderate heat, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add radicchio and beans and cook, stirring, until radicchio begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar and cook until most of vinegar is evaporated. Whisk together broth and cornstarch, then add to bean mixture and boil, scraping up brown bits, until sauce is thickened slightly and about two thirds of liquid is evaporated, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon rosemary, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve veal with radicchio and beans.

WHITE BEAN AND ROASTED POTATO SALAD WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Put the beans in a bowl or pot, cover with water by 2 inches and add 1 1/2 tablespoons salt. Let soak 4 to 12 hours. Drain before using.
• Put the soaked beans in a pot, cover with water by 2 inches and add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 bay leaf, the smashed garlic clove and 2 tablespoons oil. Bring to a boil, then simmer until tender, about 40 to 75 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with more salt if needed.
• Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes: Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper and arrange in a single layer. Top with remaining bay leaf. Roast for 15 minutes, flip potatoes, then roast until golden and very tender, another 15 to 25 minutes.
• While potatoes roast, make the dressing: In a blender, combine anchovies, garlic, vinegar and a large pinch of salt; blend until smooth, then blend in oil. Taste and add more salt or vinegar, or both, if needed. Transfer to a large bowl, stir in lemon zest, rosemary and chile flakes.
• In a separate large bowl, toss greens with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the lemon juice and a large pinch of salt. Arrange on a large serving platter.
• Toss the warm potatoes and beans into the bowl with the dressing and mix well. Taste and add more salt if necessary, and vinegar. Arrange on top of greens and serve.
