    White Beans


    Source of Recipe


    scarlet

    List of Ingredients





    2/3 cup cannellini beans
    2 cups vegetable stock
    1 carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces
    1 stalk of celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    2 cloves garlic, chopped
    salt to taste
    freshly ground black pepper
    2 cups washed and stemmed arugula


    Recipe




    Soak the cannellini beans in water overnight in the refrigerator. Drain beans, put them in a pot and add the stock, carrot, celery and enough water to cover the beans by an inch or so. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, over medium-high heat. Do not boil. Skim foam that comes to the surface. (Do not add salt because it will prevent the beans from becoming tender.) When the beans are tender, about 1 hour, remove from heat. Drain and discard the carrot and celery. Set beans aside. (The cannellini beans can be cooked ahead of time, covered and refrigerated up to 3 days.) In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add the beans, season with salt and pepper, and heat thoroughly. Turn off the heat and gently fold in the arugula leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature.
    Yield: 4 servings
