Description
A warm, hearty stew with creamy white beans, earthy mushrooms, and aromatic herbs, perfect for chilly evenings.
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: Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the mushrooms.
- Sauté the onions: In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil and add the chopped onions. Sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and mushrooms: Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, then add sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Sauté until tender, about 7-10 minutes.
- Combine the main ingredients: Add cooked white beans and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer, toss in thyme and bay leaf, and let simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes.
- Final seasoning: Taste and adjust salt and pepper. For a creamier texture, blend part of the stew with an immersion blender if desired.
