Hello! It's Wednesday, and time for comfort food on a budget.
We are bean obsessed over here.
Whether in soups like this white bean and chicken chili, hearty salads like this Mediterranean salad with shrimp and cannellini beans, or served right on the plate like these bbq baked beans or pinto beans — beans are always a big dinnertime win for us.
Even better, it's a cheap and tasty dinner that comes together in just over 30 minutes.
This Italian(ish) white bean stew is the latest in our bean recipe lineup, with a short ingredients list and fast cook time that miraculously translates into a rich and hearty stew that tastes like it's been simmering for hours.
Buttery white beans are the centerpiece of this veggie-packed stew that's flavored with Italian favorites like Parmesan, parsley, and lemon.
This recipe is accidentally vegetarian, but even my meat-loving husband didn't notice the absence of animal protein.
Enjoy!
