Italian Butter Bean Stew (Englisch)

Zutaten (Für 2 Personen)

• 2 cups dry cannellini (or other white bean)
• 6 cups water
• 1/2 cup uncooked farro verde or freekeh (any other grain works well here too)
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup snap peas
• 1/2 cup fresh english peas, shucked (frozen will work as a substitute if necessary)
• 1 Tbsp dill, chopped
• 1 Tbsp mint, chopped

Zubereitung

1. Soak the cannellini beans in the water overnight.
   Once soaked, add the beans to a large sauce pot and cook until tender, about 1-1.5 hours. Once cooked, set aside with the cooking water. Do not strain. Fill a small sauce pot with water and bring to a boil. Cook the farro verde like pasta, until tender. Once cooked, strain well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
2. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil to a stock pot.
   Add the shallot and cook until fragrant and starting to turn translucent, 3-5 minutes.
3. Add the white wine and reduce until nearly dry.
   Then add the snap peas, english peas, the butter beans and the bean broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until the snap peas are tender. If the stew looks quite dry, add a bit of vegetable stock.
4. Add salt to taste.
   Finish with the dill and mint right before serving.
