Butter Bean Tomato Stew Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pan, heat the oil and add the shallots, carrots and onion. Gently sweat, stirring, until soft but not coloured. Add tomatoes and slowly cook for 15 mins. Add the beans, reduce the heat to nearly nothing and warm through. Taste, season, then stir in the parsley. Serve with harissa.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, gently toss together the parsley and lemon zest with your hands until well combined; set aside.
• In a large baking dish or on a sheet pan, toss the tomatoes with 1/4 cup oil and thyme; season well with salt and pepper. Roast tomatoes until they have collapsed and begin to turn golden around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
• When the tomatoes are almost done roasting, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large (12-inch), deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion, garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the rinsed beans and broth and bring to a simmer. With the back of a spoon or spatula, gently smash about ½ cup of the beans so they slightly thicken the broth. If you want a thicker stew, crush some more of the beans. Season with salt and pepper.
• When the tomatoes are finished roasting, add them directly to the stew along with any juices that have been released. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes more so the flavors become friendly; season to taste with salt.
• Ladle into shallow bowls. Top each serving with some of the lemon-parsley mixture and drizzle with some more olive oil, and season with flaky salt, if you like. Serve with toasted bread.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Heat the olive oil in a flameproof casserole on the hob. Add the onion and the garlic and cook for 10min until golden and softened. Add the leeks and cook, covered, for 5min.
• Add the tomatoes, beans and broth and season well. Bring to the boil, then cook in the oven, covered with a lid, for 35-40min until the sauce has thickened.
• Stir in the balsamic vinegar and spoon into warmed bowls. If you like, serve with quartered lime wedges.
