Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups cannellini beans
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add both to the pan and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down.
Rinse and drain the cannellini beans. Stir them into the pan along with the vegetable broth.
Add the rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
Chop the parsley and stir it into the beans just before serving for a fresh, herbaceous touch.
Drizzle with lemon juice for brightness and serve warm as a side dish, or over crusty bread for a more substantial meal.
