Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups White beans (cooked)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 14 ounces Canned diced tomatoes (no added sugar)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (no added sugar)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth (low-sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Mix in the dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld together.
Gently fold in the cooked white beans, ensuring they are fully coated in the tomato sauce.
Continue to cook on low heat for another 10-12 minutes, allowing the beans to heat through and absorb some of the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy as a main dish with crusty bread or as a side dish.
