White Beans With Rosemary And Garlic Food

ROASTED GARLIC AND WHITE BEAN DIP WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Roast the garlic: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel off most of the garlic's outermost skin but leave the whole head intact. Trim about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic to expose the cloves. Place the garlic on a large piece of aluminum foil, then drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the exposed cloves and close the foil into a pouch. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until you can pierce the center of the head with a knife. Let cool slightly.
• Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the bowl of a food processor. Add the white beans, 4 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, black pepper, cayenne (if using), hot water and salt. Purée until smooth, then taste for salt, pepper, rosemary and lemon juice. Adjust as necessary. Transfer to a serving dish.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the remaining rosemary sprig - it should sizzle. Cook until brown and crisp, flipping once, about 1 minute per side, then transfer to the top of the dip as a garnish. Pour or spoon the remaining olive oil, now infused with rosemary, over the top of the dip. Sprinkle with cayenne for a little additional heat.

• Serve alone or over rice.

WHITE BEANS WITH GARLIC, LEMON & PARMESAN

Steps:

• Spread the beans on a baking sheet. Rinse the beans well, put them in a large pot, cover by 3 to 4 inches of water, add the salt, onion, and rosemary, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the beans are very tender but not falling apart, 45 minutes to 1-1/2 hours, longer if necessary. Start checking early because beans cook at different rates; if the water level gets low, add more. When the beans are cooked, let them cool in their liquid for about 15 min. and then drain. Transfer them to a large bowl and keep them warm. (If using canned beans, rinse and drain them well.)
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan or skillet, combine the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary. Heat gently until the rosemary starts to sizzle lightly, remove the pan from the heat, and leave to steep for about 20 min. Discard the rosemary.
• Take the garlic cloves from the oil (reserve the oil) and put them in a food processor, along with the anchovies, grated cheese, salt, pepper, zest, and lemon juice. Process to a fairly smooth mixture. Taste for seasoning; the dressing should be highly seasoned.
• Toss the dressing with the warm beans, using a rubber spatula to gently fold so the beans get well coated but not smashed. Let the beans sit for a few minutes and then toss a few more times. It may seem like too much liquid at first, but the beans will gradually absorb it all. Fold in the reserved infused oil, the tomatoes, and the parsley. Taste for seasoning and serve.

WHITE BEANS AND ROSEMARY CROSTINI

Steps:

• Heat a fireplace to medium heat. Adjust the grill racks over the flame and heat a heavy Dutch oven over the rack. Alternatively, heat a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Once hot, add the oil to the saucepan. Add the pancetta and render some of its fat. Add the rosemary and garlic, and saute until fragrant. Stir in the beans, lemon juice and some salt and pepper. Mash the beans with the back of a wooden spoon. Don't mash them all smooth, you want some texture.
• Toast the baguette slices. Serve the beans on top of the toasted baguette. Drizzle with olive oil if desired.

ROSEMARY WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• Cover the beans with cold water and soak overnight in the refrigerator.
• They will double in size so use a lot of water.
• Heat the bacon in a large pot over medium heat, until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
• Add the onions and cook 8-10 minutes until soft.
• Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.
• Then add the chicken stock and water til simmering.
• Drain beans of their water and add to pot.
• Cook on medium heat until soft, about 1 1/2 hours.

INSTANT POT WHITE BEANS WITH ROSEMARY & GARLIC

Steps:

• Soak the beans in water and bicarb soda for 12 hours (overnight or during the day). They will double in size. Rinse and use right away or refrigerate in an airtight container for a maximum of 12-24 hours.
• Add the beans, water, vegetable stock cube, garlic, rosemary, onions and salt to the pot and mix through. Pop the lid on top, lock and make sure the top valve is pointing to Sealing. Press Manual/Pressure Cook, HIGH pressure and set for 10 minutes. The pressure build-up will take about 7-10 minutes. Once 10 minutes are up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20-25 minutes.
• Open the lid (after quick release, if needed) and skim off the onions from the top. Remove the rosemary sprigs (the needles should fall off into the soup and can be eaten). Stir the beans.
• Depending on how soupy or thick you like your braised beans, you might want to discard about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Now, to thicken the beans, add some of the cooked beans and the broth liquid to a blender or food processor (about 1 cup, see pics above) and blend until smooth and thick. Return the puree to the pot and stir through the beans. The starched puree will thicken the mixture.
• Finally, add the lemon juice and olive oil and stir through before serving. You can also add the olive oil once it is served.
