Baked Chipotle Cannellini Beans With Spinach And Cotija Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a 10-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Cook and stir onion in bacon drippings until tender, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer., Stir in remaining ingredients and reserved bacon; bring to a boil. Place skillet in oven. Bake until bubbly and sauce is slightly thickened, 20-25 minutes.

Steps:

• Roughly chop the cauliflower and put in a large lidded saucepan along with one 15-ounce can cannellini beans with their liquid, 1/3 c. milk, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, and 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the cauliflower is fork tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until the cauliflower is soft, about 10 minutes. Mash with a potato masher, then stir in 1/4 c. grated Parmesan. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve with shaved Parmesan over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425F degrees. Bring the olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and minced garlic up to heat over a medium flame for about a minute. Stir in the tomatoes and the fresh oregano and bring to a gentle simmer. Off the heat, add the adobo sauce and taste. I added a little too much the first time I made this, so beware, adobo is powerful stuff. Salt and pepper to taste, but go easy on the salt, because I find that canned beans can be a touch salty. Add the beans and spinach, and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 baking pan and sprinkle with the cheese and breadcrumbs and bake in the top-third of the oven for roughly twenty-five minutes, or until it is browned and bubbly on top. Enjoy!
