Description
Warm, hearty, and full of flavor, White Bean Mushroom Stew is a comforting choice for any meal, featuring tender white beans and richly sautéed mushrooms simmered in a savory broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white beans (cannellini or navy)
- 250 grams sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Start by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, and slicing the mushrooms.
- Sauté the onions: In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the onions until they’re translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then, add the sliced mushrooms with a pinch of salt; sauté until they release their moisture and are tender, about 7-10 minutes.
- Simmer the stew: Add the cooked white beans and vegetable broth, stirring well. Bring to a simmer, then mix in the thyme and bay leaf. Let it simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes.
- Season to taste: Before serving warm, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. For a creamier texture, blend part of the stew using an immersion blender.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for garnish. This dish pairs well with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
