Garlic & Herb White Bean Salad



Beans are not only for picnics. This giant white bean salad is bright, herby, and full of creamy white beans. And I’ll be honest: I’m always in the mood for this. Forget your plans and make this!

——————————

Ingredients:⁠
⁠
– 14 oz dried giant Greek white beans⁠
– 2 sprigs rosemary⁠
– 10 leaves sage, separated⁠
– 8 fresh bay leaves, separated⁠
– 1/2 cup olive oil⁠
– 1 small red onion, sliced⁠
– 3/4 tsp chili flakes⁠
– 2 tsp salt⁠
– 1 tsp pepper⁠
– 3 cloves garlic, chopped⁠
– 1 small zucchini, sliced in thin strips with a vegetable peeler⁠
– 4 oz arugula⁠
– 4 oz fresh Parmesan shards⁠
– 1 1/2 tbsp lemon zest⁠
– 1 tbsp lemon juice⁠
⁠
Instructions:⁠
⁠
In a large bowl, cover the dried beans with 4 inches of water. Cover and soak in the refrigerator overnight, about 8 hours. After they are soaked, drain the beans and add them to a large stockpot with 6 cups water, 1 sprig of rosemary, 5 sage leaves, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a slow boil and cook until the beans are tender and creamy on the inside, 60-90 minutes.⁠
⁠
Once the beans are almost finished cooking, in a large skillet heat oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion, chili flakes, salt, pepper, remaining rosemary, remaining bay leaves, remaining sage, and garlic. Cook until the onion is softened, 5 minutes.⁠
⁠
When ready, drain the beans, discard the herbs, and add the beans to the olive oil. Stir and coat the beans in the oil mixture. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes.⁠
⁠
To the slightly cooled beans, add the ribbons of zucchini, arugula, and Parmesan. Stir and serve with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice, lemon zest, and Parmesan on top.

    Are those what we call "Butter beans" in the south? Because I LOVE Butter beans. That looks amazing! I certainly try this!

    "A well-made salad must have a certain uniformity; it should make perfect sense for those ingredients to share a bowl." So… your garlic & herb white bean salad is magnificent. Cheers, Domenico.

    I love your channel and you always have the best recipes. I started watching you by accident because someone on my FB page had a video of you and your Homemade Christmas Caramels. Instantly fell in love, and had to find out who you were and your channel, because I love how you make EVERYTHING sound so delicious, even the spices sound delicious, alone. Joking aside, I have been enjoying your videos since before Christmas 2020 and now I am going to make your, Weeknight Lasagna from your Feb. 13, video for my family. I tried once a few years ago to grow my own squash, and while they did start to sprout, they died soon after from the heat. I really want to try again with making my own garden, but with this Oklahoma heat during the Summer I am scared to be disappointed again. But I love your videos and appreciate them, because my Dessie Grandma, grew all of her vegetables and canned like a pro, I want to someday do what she did. You seem like the person to go to help with that. I admit I have only watched your cooking videos, but I do want to watch all of your videos because it seems you have the knowledge of growing and canning and that is what I want. So please keep up what you are doing and if no one else says it, I appreciate it.

    I might try this with smaller white beans (have kids) and then add everything you are adding with some yellow squash and I have some frozen pumpkin that is cubed that I can bake and add a baked chicken (shredded) and make some sautéed spinach to add to it too. If I don’t do the chicken maybe I can pull enough Cod Fish to bake off and serve a good 4 to 6 ounce piece per person with it.
