Cannellini Beans With Chorizo Garlic And Sage Recipes

Steps:

• Place beans in large bowl. Cover with cold water (at least 6 cups) and let soak overnight.
• Drain beans. Place in heavy large pot. Add 8 cups room-temperature water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, sage, and black peppercorns. Bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to mediumlow; simmer uncovered 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Mix in 1 teaspoon coarse salt. Continue to simmer until beans are tender, adding more water if needed to keep beans covered, about 30 minutes longer. Cool beans in liquid 1 hour.
• Using slotted spoon, transfer beans to serving bowl, reserving bean cooking liquid, if desired, but discarding garlic, sage, and peppercorns. Season beans to taste with pepper and more coarse salt. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve.

Steps:

• Put beans in earthenware bowl, cover with water and let soak overnight.
• Drain beans and put in cooking pot with 6 cups water, garlic cloves, sage and olive oil. Cover and simmer, never allowing the water to boil.

Steps:

• Drain the soaked cannelloni beans and place them in a large saucepan.
• Add in enough cold water to cover the beans and bring to the boil.
• Cook briskly until tender, around 1 hour, topping up with more water as required. Drain the beans, reserving the cooking water.
• Heat a splash of olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Add in the onion, garlic and chorizo.
• Fry, stirring, for 2 minutes.
• Add in the beans and sage and pour over enough of the reserved cooking water to just cover the beans.
• Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper and cook, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated, around 10 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle with olive oil. Serve warm with a little grated Pecorino cheese.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the sage and thyme. Add the tomatoes. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the beans. Simmer until the tomatoes are tender and the juices evaporate by half, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in the prosciutto, being careful not to overcook the prosciutto. Season the beans, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the arugula or mixed baby greens over a platter. Spoon the beans over the greens and serve.

Steps:

• Drain the soaked beans and rinse them well. Pour into a large saucepan with the water, bay leaves, savory, and 2 of the sage leaves.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 35-40 minutes. Watch closely during the last 5-10 minutes to make sure the skins have softened and the beans have opened but still hold their shape. Remove the herbs and bay leaves. Leave the beans in their broth.
• While the beans are cooking, chope the remaining sage leaves. Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the onion, 1/2 tsp salt, and a few grinds of pepper.
• Saute over medium heat until the onion begins to release it's juices. Add the garlic and sage; saute for about 10 minutes, then add the wine and cook for a mintue or two, until the pan is nearly dry.
• Add the beans and their broth to the onions along with 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few more grinds of pepper.
• Lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes, adding a little water if needed to keep the beans saucy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the parsley just before serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bring beans, head of garlic, sage, 3 Tbsp. oil, and 6 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat, add several generous pinches of salt and simmer gently until beans are creamy all the way through but skins are still intact, 35-45 minutes. Let cool.
• Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook crushed garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring, just until garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Working in batches, add spinach, letting it wilt slightly before adding more, and cook, tossing often, until leaves are just wilted, about 5 minutes; season with salt.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer beans to skillet with spinach and cook, tossing gently, until beans are warmed through. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup bean cooking liquid and toss, adding more cooking liquid if needed, until coated (mixture should be saucy but not submerged in liquid; don't cook too long or beans will get mushy). Taste and season with salt. Serve drizzled with oil.
• Do Ahead
• Beans can be cooked 3 days ahead. Keep in cooking liquid; cover and chill.
