Provided by Ina Garten

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

14 ounces dried Great Northern beans
1 quart homemade chicken stock or canned broth
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 cup good olive oil
2 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
1 cup medium-diced carrots (2 carrots)
1 cup medium-diced celery (2 stalks)
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley, plus extra for garnish
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Place the beans in a bowl and cover with water. Soak in the refrigerator overnight.
Drain the beans, place in a large saucepan with the chicken stock, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Add 1 tablespoon of salt for the last 10 minutes of cooking. Drain, reserving the stock.
In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil, then add the onions, diced carrots, and celery, and cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until tender. Add the parsley, garlic, rosemary, and thyme and cook for 1 more minute. Add the beans and 2 cups of the cooking stock. (If you dont have enough liquid, add additional stock or water to make 2 cups.) Cook for 15 minutes until the stock makes a little sauce, adding more stock if necessary. Finish with the Parmesan cheese. Serve with a garnish of chopped parsley.

A nice flavorful touch to dress up your green beans! NOTE: If you happen to have one, a Green Bean Frencher may be used, but it's not necessary...I don't have one, myself!

OLD FASHIONED FRENCH CANADIAN BAKED BEANS

Old Fashioned French Canadian Baked Beans image

This was a staple for me growing up in Quebec and brings back many happy memories. A perfect winter comfort food!!! I have tweaked an original recipe and wanted to share it with you. Great at breakfast with fried egg and sausage. A hearty meal with crusty bread and salad. It takes some time but well worth the wait -- I hope you enjoy them. Special note: some people prefer using salt pork when preparing baked beans - I use sliced bacon instead.

Time 17h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 -1 1/2 lb navy beans (2 1/2 to 3 cups measure)
bay leaf
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup ketchup
1 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard (Keen's brand is what I use)
2 -3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 slices bacon (optional)
reserved bean liquid

Steps:

Cover beans with water and soak overnight.
Rinse beans then bring to a boil in approximately 1 quart of water, bay leaf and garlic - simmer for 30 minutes.
Turn off heat and let beans stand for approximately 1 1/2 hours until soft. Drain and reserve the bean liquid. Discard bay leaf and garlic.
Mix together remaining ingredients (excluding beans and bacon).
Add beans to bean pot (or any covered dish).
Stir in molasses mixture to beans. Top off with some of the reserved bean liquid.
Arrange bacon on top.
Cover and bake at 300 degrees for 7 hours. For the final hour of cooking, remove cover to let bean brown up nicely.
Note: check occasionally and keep beans covered with reserved bean liquid during cooking.
