Parmesan Beans
Description
Parmesan Beans are prepared by lightly sautéing minced garlic in olive oil to release its aroma, then adding cannellini beans and vegetable broth to the pan. The mixture gently simmers until it thickens to a creamy consistency, allowing the flavors to marry. Finishing with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper adds a savory depth and subtle bite.
The dish features tender beans softened through simmering, balanced by the slight sharpness of Parmesan, and is enhanced by the fragrant garlic and olive oil base. The texture is creamy yet hearty, making it suitable as a comforting side dish or paired with crusty bread for a simple meal.
Adjustments to seasoning like extra salt or cheese can be made to taste, ensuring the beans suit individual preferences. This recipe comes together quickly and uses common pantry ingredients, providing an easy way to add a flavorful legume dish to your meals.
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic $0.16
- 2 Tbsp olive oil $0.32
- 2 oz. cans cannellini beans $1.78
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth $0.09, or chicken broth
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese $0.59, grated
- 1/4 tsp black pepper $0.03, freshly cracked
Instructions
- Mince the garlic and add it to a large skillet with the olive oil. Sauté the garlic over medium heat for about one minute.
- Drain, but do not rinse, the Cannellini beans. Add the beans and broth to the skillet with the garlic. Stir to combine.
- Allow the beans to come up to a simmer. Simmer the beans, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until they've thickened slightly. The spoon should leave a trail in the beans as you stir.
- Add the Parmesan and pepper to the beans. Stir to combine. Taste the beans and adjust the Parmesan, pepper, or add salt if needed. Serve hot!
