White Bean And Tomato Stew With Rosemary Recipes

ROSEMARY WHITE BEAN TOMATO STEW

Steps:

• Heat up some olive oil in a soup pot on medium heat and sauté the onions in it until soft and translucent. Add the garlic for another minute until fragrant. Now add the beans, tomatoes, stock, salt and pepper, twigs of rosemary and optionally a parmesan rind and chili flakes for some heat.
• Increase the heat to bring it to boil, then reduce it to low and let simmer for 20 minutes. It will have thickened significantly by then.
• Now add the kale leaves to it and continue simmering for 2 or 3 more minutes. In the meantime remove the rosemary and the parmesan rind.
• Divide the stew in bowls and sprinkle with fresh parsley and freshly grated parmesan. Serve it with quinoa or rice (for stew) or big chunks of freshly baked bread (for soup).

ROASTED TOMATO AND WHITE BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, gently toss together the parsley and lemon zest with your hands until well combined; set aside.
• In a large baking dish or on a sheet pan, toss the tomatoes with 1/4 cup oil and thyme; season well with salt and pepper. Roast tomatoes until they have collapsed and begin to turn golden around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
• When the tomatoes are almost done roasting, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large (12-inch), deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion, garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the rinsed beans and broth and bring to a simmer. With the back of a spoon or spatula, gently smash about ½ cup of the beans so they slightly thicken the broth. If you want a thicker stew, crush some more of the beans. Season with salt and pepper.
• When the tomatoes are finished roasting, add them directly to the stew along with any juices that have been released. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes more so the flavors become friendly; season to taste with salt.
• Ladle into shallow bowls. Top each serving with some of the lemon-parsley mixture and drizzle with some more olive oil, and season with flaky salt, if you like. Serve with toasted bread.
