Ingredients
- 15 oz Navy beans dry, white
- 1 green pepper sliced
- 1 red pepper sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
- 1/2 red onion sliced
- 2 garlic diced very finely, cloves
- 1 lemon juice
- 6 oz prosciutto
- 6 oz Asiago cheese or cheese of your choice
- olive oil splash
- parsley bay leaf, cloves, black peppercorn, 2 pieces; for baggy
Instructions
- Start off by soaking your beans overnight. (Alternative: use a quick soak method or use canned beans).
- Place beans in a pot of water with at least 1 inch of water above the beans.
- In a cheese cloth, make a little baggy with 2 pieces of flat parsley sprigs, bay leaf, clove, and crushed black peppercorn and place in the pot of beans to simmer.
- While the beans are simmering on medium heat, slice up the peppers, onions, and garlic.
- Once the beans are ready, throw out the baggy of herbs and peppercorn, drain, and let the beans cool.
- While the beans are cooling, shred your cheese into the bowl containing the vegetables.
- Once the beans have cooled, add the beans into the bowl, pour in a splash of olive oil.
- Add some of the juice from the lemon onto the beans and season with salt and pepper.
- For the prosciutto, slice it up and add it when you are ready to serve.
Notes
- The prep time does not include the bean soaking. It is up to you as to what method you'd like to use.
