Beans Beans Beans

Description

An adaptation on cacio y pepe white beans from Ottolenghi. This recipe is fully dependent on the quality of the ingredients because it’s so simple! It’ll suck if you use bad ingredients!

Ingredients

• Large dried white beans (soaked overnight to 24 hours in cold water with a hefty pinch of salt)
• High-quality broth (preferably homemade chicken bone broth)
• Bay leaves
• Parmesan rind
• Cracked black pepper
• Butter

Directions

1. Soak the largest dried white beans you can find overnight – 24hrs with cold water and a hefty pinch of salt (2 teaspoons?)
2. Drain beans, add the best broth you can find, preferably homemade chicken bone broth or a fancy schmancy one you buy.
3. Add some bay leaves, a Parmesan rind a LOT of cracked black pepper and make sure the beans are covered with liquid. Add water if not covered.
4. Simmer on LOW covered for 1-3 hrs until beans are done. If you’re making this do it on a cozy weekend day where timing isn’t a bother and taste the beans and make sure you get 5 cooked beans in a row that you like.
5. Add a fat pat of butter, stir and enjoy!! I like garlic bread dipped in, and it’s okay if it’s soupy or more creamy. Enjoy!!!!
