Hearty, delicious and budget friendly!
I love cooking with beans because they’re budget-friendly, quick, hearty, and their soft flavour pairs well with many different ingredients. All the things that make them perfect for side dishes or even light meals. And this recipe for Rosemary Garlic Butter Beans is an perfect example of just that!
A quick look at the ingredients:
Rosemary Garlic Butter Beans Recipe Tips
- BEANS: This recipe calls for butter beans but you can use white kidney beans (cannellini beans) or navy beans.
- BROTH: Use vegetable or chicken broth.
- ROSEMARY: You can use fresh rosemary or dried rosemary.
- ONIONS and LEEKS: This recipe calls for both onions and leeks. I love adding leeks to dishes because of their mild sweet onion flavour. But if you don’t have leeks, you can leave them out and use 1 full sized medium onion (chopped) instead.
- PREPARING LEEKS: Cut off the root end and the dark green part of the leek: you only want to use the white and light green parts of the leek (the dark green tops are too tough). Then wash the leeks thoroughly as they can be very sandy and dirty. Make sure to pull open the top layers and rinse in between them.
- CHEESE: This recipe calls for both Parmesan cheese and Pecorino Romano cheese. Again, this recipe is very versatile, so if you don’t have Pecorino, use all Parmesan instead (or vice versa).
- GARNISH OPTIONS: Feel free to add grated parmesan cheese to the top of the finished beans before serving.
- STORAGE: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. The leftovers are delicious!
Serving Suggestion:
- As an every day side dish: These beans are delicious alongside roast chicken, steak, ribs, pork roast and more.
- OR as a side for holiday dinners! Yes! These beans pair so well with turkey for Thanksgiving or this beef roast for Christmas.
- OR as a light meal or lunch: serve these beans with crusty bread, the cheesy sauce is perfect for dipping!
