Warm white bean saute Recipe
This is a tasty and healthy side dish. We served it with simple Flank Steak, but it would go well with chicken, fish, or other vegetables too.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 small red onion, sliced
- 2 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and sliced (1 cup sliced baby carrots)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 2 garlic cloves, slivered
- 1 19oz can Cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
- 2 tsps fresh lemon juice
- coarse salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Directions
- In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add onion and carrots. Cook stirring frequently, until onion is lightly browned...about 5 min. Add bell pepper and garlic. Cook, stirring, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in beans, lemon zest, and 1 cup water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer, cover, and cook until beans have absorbed most of the liquid...about 10 minutes.
- Stir in lemon juice and add salt and pepper until properly seasoned.
- Serve and enjoy!
