Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams cannellini beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
- 120 milliliters vegetable broth (or water)
- 0.5 teaspoons lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.3 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced garlic and rosemary sprigs, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the cannellini beans and toss to coat them evenly in the infused oil.
Pour in the vegetable broth (or water) and bring to a gentle simmer.
Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Stir well to combine.
Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the beans are tender and flavorful.
Remove the rosemary sprigs before serving.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or lemon zest if desired.
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with chopped parsley if using, and serve warm.
