STEWED WHITE BEANS WITH TOMATOES AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Soak beans in water overnight. Drain, and transfer to a large pot. Cover beans with 4 inches water. Add the intact half of the onion, the carrot, celery, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until beans are tender but not bursting, about 1 hour. Drain, and remove onion, carrot, celery, and bay leaf; discard.
• Pulse tomatoes, with juice, in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Heat oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, the garlic, and red-pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion and garlic are tender but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and rosemary. Bring to a boil.

ROSEMARY WHITE BEAN TOMATO STEW

Steps:

• Heat up some olive oil in a soup pot on medium heat and sauté the onions in it until soft and translucent. Add the garlic for another minute until fragrant. Now add the beans, tomatoes, stock, salt and pepper, twigs of rosemary and optionally a parmesan rind and chili flakes for some heat.
• Increase the heat to bring it to boil, then reduce it to low and let simmer for 20 minutes. It will have thickened significantly by then.
• Now add the kale leaves to it and continue simmering for 2 or 3 more minutes. In the meantime remove the rosemary and the parmesan rind.
• Divide the stew in bowls and sprinkle with fresh parsley and freshly grated parmesan. Serve it with quinoa or rice (for stew) or big chunks of freshly baked bread (for soup).
