Warm White Bean Salad
Recipe information
Yield
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 small red onion, diced
2 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, diced
1 garlic clove, slivered
1 can (19 ounces) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Preparation
In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and carrots; cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic; cook, stirring, until pepper is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in beans, lemon zest, and 1 cup water, and season with salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cover, and cook until beans have absorbed most of the liquid, about 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice; season again with salt and pepper.
