Sautéed White Beans and Spinach

This is a wonderful side dish and comes together very quickly. You can soak dried beans overnight, or, go with quality canned beans. Either way delivers a delicious side dish. Add cooked Italian sausage for a wonderful main dish.

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring often, until just turning lightly browned on the edges, about 3 to 4 minutes (don't let it burn!). Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
  2. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the spinach and then the beans. Cook until the spinach has completely wilted, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the malt vinegar and serve at once.

  • Baby spinach can be substituted for the mature spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw it first and then squeeze all of the water from it with a kitchen towel in your kitchen sink. We recommend going with mature spinach (usually two bunches). 
  • This easily served four people. Cut the recipe in half to serve two. 
  • Leftovers will keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stove over medium heat until simmering. You made need to add a little more broth.
