Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cannellini beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 cup vegetable broth (or water)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the rosemary sprigs to the skillet and gently fry for about 1 minute to release their aroma.
Stir in the cannellini beans, ensuring they are well-coated in the oil and garlic mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth (or water) and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using), stirring to combine.
Simmer the beans for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Remove the rosemary sprigs from the skillet and discard them.
Stir in the lemon juice and taste, adjusting seasoning if needed.
Serve warm as a side dish or with toasted bread for dipping. Optionally, drizzle with extra olive oil before serving.
