Lemony White Beans With Anchovy And Parmesan Food

LEMONY WHITE BEANS WITH ANCHOVY AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook, swirling the skillet occasionally until the garlic is pale golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the anchovies, capers and red-pepper flakes, swirling until the anchovies melt and sizzle, the capers pop slightly, and the red-pepper flakes toast and bleed into the oil, about 2 minutes.
• Add the beans and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and toss to coat the beans in all the garlicky business. Let them cook until the flavors have melded and beans no longer taste like they came from a can, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add half the escarole and toss to coat, letting it wilt ever so slightly. Transfer the beans and wilted escarole to a large serving platter or bowl, and mix in the remaining escarole. Scatter with the mint and parsley. Use a peeler or box grater to shave some Parmesan over all. Squeeze the lemon over everything just before serving.

WHITE BEANS AND CHARRED BROCCOLI WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Drain beans and place in a large heavy pot. Remove rind from Parmesan and add rind along with onion and garlic to beans. Pour in water to cover by 2"; season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, adding water as needed to keep beans submerged, until beans are tender, about 2 hours. Let cool. Discard vegetables and Parmesan rind, then drain.
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss broccoli with 1/4 cup oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender and lightly charred, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
• Finely chop half of broccoli and toss in a large bowl with anchovies, lemon zest, lemon juice, and beans. Shave half of Parmesan over and add remaining broccoli and 1/4 cup oil; toss and season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired. Shave remaining Parmesan over.

WHITE BEAN SALAD WITH LEMON AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• In boiling water blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes, and the zucchini for under 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
• Combine all ingredients, including the cooked veggies, tossing gently to mix everything together.
• Serve at room temperature.

WHITE BEANS WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Add lemon, anchovies, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lemon is softened and brown in spots and anchovies fall apart, about 5 minutes. Add broccoli rabe; season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add beans and 1/2 cup water to pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors have melded and liquid is reduced by half (you still want it to be saucy), about 5 minutes. Mix in parsley and 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
• Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if desired, and top with more Parmesan.
