Roman-Style Bean Salad – Insalata di Fagioli alla Romana



This is how to make a delicious, Roman-style, bean salad – Insalata di Fagioli alla Romana. It’s a hearty, home-cooked dish but you’ll often find it served in local restaurants too. Like all rustic recipes, it involves very little preparation and just a few simple ingredients, but you need to make sure they’re the best quality. And if you don’t like anchovies or want to make it vegan, you can just use sun-dried tomatoes for the dressing instead.

    Finally someone who agrees that beans with onion are a superb main course. This dish looks delicious

    Gorgeous recipe, Francesco! I make a similar dressing with olive oil, vinegar, anchovies, parsley, salt and ground black pepper to go on cut-up boiled potatoes and green beans for potato salad. It reminds me a little of your beautiful salad😊

    It is kinda similar to a bean salad we have in Turkey. Ours is made with beans, raw onion, tomato, boiled eggs and tahini.

    I don’t know what to think of beans mixed with anchovies but i will have to try to really judge it . Thanks for sharing

    Francesco, you’ve once again outdone yourself 😊😊😊

    @theplantslant2431 Liam, you have “bean”😂 summoned!!

  15. @neilp3773

    This looks delicious, however if you are not a fan of anchovies is there an alternative that can be used?

  18. @originalaasemkhan

    Raw onions, raw garlic and anchovies. Don't talk to me after eating that 🙂

    Kidding of course. I LOVE your channel and recipes. Vry inspiring.

    After watching this then looking at the British, I can confirm that saying beans sucks is pure skill issue.

    And another recipe showing Italian cuisine is overhyping ^^ it is food one day before payday – nothing in fridge, I throw in bowl anything I've got ^^

    Is there any other substitution for anchovies, not necessary a vegetarian substitution but meat/fish substitution? Thank you 😊 Excellent recepies, I have preordered your book and can’t wait to receive it 🙏🏼
