When I don't have too much time to cook or if I am not necessarily in the mood to prepare a gourmet dinner, there are a couple types of foods that I look to for a quick solution: legumes, and fresh root vegetables. Aside from eating loads of fish, vegetables (especially Brussels sprouts, beets, and asparagus) are always easy to prepare. Roasting veggies are generally my favourite, and on some days I just make tapas. But, I decided to switch things up when I only wanted a salad for dinner after a long work day.
Here's what I made to go along with our dinner salads: roasted cannellini beans with tomatoes, mushrooms, fresh herbs (coriander, and basil), and white wine. There's more to come this week, and I am making it part of my #FTalesFoodie diaries. Hope you enjoy!

Oven Roasted Cannellini Beans with White Wine
Ingredients
1 can cannellini beans or 400 g (dried, soaked, and drained overnight)4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, and a bit more for finishing
3-4 cloves of garlic (chopped fine)
1 tsp crush red pepper flakes
1 medium onion (peeled and sliced)
100 g sliced mushrooms (crimini/baby bella)
10-15 pcs. cherry tomatoes
118 ml dry white wine
kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
1 sprig of fresh basil for garnishing
25 g goat cheese or feta (Greek)
1. Pour drained cannellini beans in a bowl.
2. Add garlic, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, cilantro, and red pepper flakes.
3. Blend in olive oil into bowl, stirring gently with a spoon to evenly cover bean mixture.
4. In a foiled pan, spread bean mixture on pan, and place in oven. Let bake uncovered for 20 min.
5. Lightly stir beans. Then, pour dry white wine over beans in the pan. Bake for 20-25 min. until tomatoes and onions are soft, and a few min. more when tomatoes are slightly roasted.
6. Let stand for 2 min.
7. Drizzle olive oil on top. Garnish with fresh basil, and add feta cheese crumbles.
8. Serve, and season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.
I sprinkled a hint more of basil on top. Plate as a side, or eat alone. Serve and enjoy!
Time: 30-45 min.
Prep: 5 min. Preheat oven at 180C/Gas 4
Rinse, and wash tomatoes, and fresh herbs before proceeding to step one.
To clean mushrooms, do so in a bowl of water, gently turning them with your hands taking the dirt off, then put them on a cloth or towel and pat dry right before slicing them to add to the bowl. I removed some of the stems that were woody, but you can leave stems on.
Lastly, here's a preview of what I cooked on the weekend as well, flaky scallion pancakes. This was by far one of the best versions that I have tried. It's fairly easy to make and entirely worth an extra morning run (wink)! More images to come soon.
Very very healthy and appetizing indeed! I'll have that as a side dish for a fish dinner. I always include roasted veggies in my diet, so this one could be an alternative. Thank you for this. And oh, scallion pancakes! Yum yum :D Did you have it for Chinese New Year? Hope you're having a lovely week x

Hmm, I love beans and I eat them a lot since they are a good source for plant based protein (and I am vegan). This looks really delicous and it makes me think that I should maybe have beans today :)

Oh meine güte Madison jetzt hast du mich richtig hungrig gemacht. Ich esse ganz selten Bohnen, weil die so eine lange Garzeit haben. Das ist ja bei diesen Bohnen nicht der Fall. Die musste ich erst mal googlen, aber die gibt es hier auch. Muss das Rezept unbedingt mal ausprobieren. Deine Pfannekuchen sehen auch sehr lecker aus. Ich freue mich schon auf mehr Fotos. Happy Thursday!!

Thanks so much, glad that you liked it. :) /Madison
ReplyDeleteThanks Mica. It's definitely versatile: as a dish or side. :)
ReplyDelete:) Thanks Emmy.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Great protein, minerals, and fibre.
ReplyDeleteBohnen wirklich nicht zu lang, um den Einsatz prepare-- eine Dose Bohnen zu nehmen, und nicht rohen Bohnen, es spart Zeit. Ich wünsche Dir viel Spaß und natürlich gibt es mehr Fotos und Essen zu kommen, hehe. :) Haben einen tollen Abend. (I like your own new blog too by the way.) <3 xoxo / Madison
ReplyDeleteOh this looks good, I have problems with beans though. But maybe if they are roasted it may be easier on my system.
