white bean recipe

<em>These sweet &amp; smoky white beans are simmered in a silky and flavorful tomato &amp; red pepper sauce and make the perfect side. Vegan &amp; Gluten-Free!</em>

Sweet &amp; Smoky White Beans

(1040 g) cooked white beans;

14.5 oz (410 g) can fire-roasted and diced tomatoes

(106 g) roasted red peppers (homemade

red onion, quartered

garlic

smoked paprika

cumin

salt, plus more to taste

Black pepper, to taste (optional)

(80 ml) filtered water

Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Thoroughly drain and rinse your beans, if you are using canned.

Add the tomatoes, roasted red pepper, red onion, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and water to a bullet or high-speed blender. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, until a smooth sauce forms.

Pour the sauce into a large pot, add the beans, and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low once simmering and cook for an additional 15 to 18 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the beans begin to splatter you can loosely cover the pot with a lid, leaving space for steam to escape. The beans are finished once the sauce has thickened to your liking.

Serve warm, and as desired. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, or can be frozen for up to 2 months.

These were delicious! This recipe will be in my rotation for sure!

These were amazing - even my (non-vegan) family loved it! 
Made these with a mix of beans since I only had a can of each and mashed some in the pot just to get a thicker consistency. Besides that, I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing this!

This recipe was perfect to use what I have on hand for shelter in place! I had to make some changes to use what I had on hand, but the spice combination is really what makes this dish. I used plain diced tomatoes, no roasted peppers, and used vegetable broth instead of water. I ended up letting it cook in the oven for a bit to get more of a roasted flavor.

Add the beans to the Instant Pot and the water.&nbsp; Make sure the beans are covered by at least 1 inch of water.

When the beans are finished cooking, wait for the Instant Pot to cool down for 10-15 minutes or release pressure manually by taking a hand towel and carefully opening up the steam valve on the lid.   It is safe to open the lid once all steam has been released.

30-Minute Tuscan White Bean Skillet

A wonderful comforting bean stew made with white beans, lamb, pepper paste and spices.

Turkish Beans Kuru Fasulye

white beans, uncooked or 4 cups cooked beans

300 g/10.5 oz lamb, diced

olive oil

onion, diced

diced green or red bell pepper

pepper paste

water

paprika or red pepper flakes

Rinse the white beanswell  and soak them overnight. This will help them cook easier.

Put them in a pot the following day, fill it with water. Bring it to boil and simmer until the beans are tender, about 40 minutes. Drain and put it aside.

Meanwhile put the diced lamb in the pot with 1/4 cup water and cook until tender over medium low heat for about 40 minutes. Check if it gets tender enough when it absorbs almost all the water. If it’s not soft enough, add a little water and cook for another about 1o to 15 minutes.

Add olive oil, onions and peppers over the meat in the pot. Cook them together until soft, stirring occasionally.

In a small bowl, thin the red pepper paste with 1/4 cup water and pour it over the meat. Stir well and cook for one or two minutes.

Add in the cooked beans, salt and spices. Stir well.

Pour hot water into the pot, let it simmer covered for about 15 minutes.

This is a delicious recipe! I recently found these beans at a lebanese market and wanted to try something a little more specific with them! This stew was a perfect fall meal. I substituted the red pepper paste for tomato, and it turned out delicious! I also added in some celery and garlic.

Made these using a combination of various beans. So comforting and full of flabors!

I am American with a Turkish husband and he absolutely loved this. Said it was perfect and even ate it the next day. Definitely will be making this many, many times in the future!

I finally found what i was looking for so many years. In 1996 I was in Istanbul an ate some kind of beans in a place which also served rotisserie chickens and lambs heads. I really didn't pay attention to the name of the dish but it was so delicious. Now I know what it was and making it tomorrow. Only one thing I am pretty sure that they used some of this rotisserie chicken drippings in theirs beans. Did you hear about restaurants doing this or it was only my imagination?

This is so yummy, I served with organic blue corn tortilla chips &amp; brought it to work &amp; the girls loved it &amp; ate the whole thing! ;)

This was delicious! I topped it with maple Sriracha and everyone at Thanksgiving loved it with pita chips!

Just made this….threw together a can of great northern beans, 2 gloves of garlic, juice of half a  lemon, a dab of olive oil, and Trader Joe’s Green Goddess seasoning. I didn’t measure anything. This is so much better than hummus. The flavors blend together well and the taste is amazing. I’ll definitely keep this in rotation for lunch ideas. I did have to thin it out a little because I used less olive oil than the recipe called for. Great recipe. Thank you for sharing. I’ve already shared it with friends and family.

Yum! Wanted to make hummus and didn’t have chickpeas so I made this. So good! I left out the thyme for my toddler, and next time I’ll give her some and add the garlic after for me ;) I did double the garlic, haha!!

What a gorgeous recipe!  I used fresh rosemary instead of thyme but otherwise, followed the recipe exactly.  It's absolutely perfect!

Hi Lisa.  I haven't commented in a while. I made this dip and its fantastically delicious!  I dipped my celery sticks into and it's scrumptious! I pretty much already finished it.  In addition to this I also made your white bean kale asparagus soup  (not on your site here but from your book).  OMG that soup is my new favorite soup and what a treat!  I just froze much of the soup.  I had two pounds of white beans to use and your recipes just made these wonderful new recipes!  I continue to try your different recipes. Thank you 
- my cooking diva!

This bean dip was so easy and delicious. I will be making this weekly for sure!

This creamy, garlicky and nutty hummus is perfect for dipping vegetables and chips. Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus is the ultimate gameday appetizer!

Roasted Garlic and White Bean Hummus

roasted garlic cloves

tahini

Measure all the ingredients into a food processor.

Run the food processor until all elements are combined and smooth.

Taste and add more seasoning, if desired.

Transfer the hummus to a plate and serve with warm pitas, carrots and celery.

Oh my this sounds AMAZING!!! I can't wait to try the recipe! And I totally agree on the garlic front, love it!

I just had to pin this, Erin! I've never made hummus before but I enjoy it. Yes, I love garlic. Thanks for sharing this.
