Category: Peppers, Beans
Ingredients List
- 1 rounded cup dried cannellini beans
- 3 large cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 pound fontina cheese, shredded
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
1. Pick over the beans and remove any grit, small pebbles, or misshapen beans. Put the beans in a colander, rinse under cold running water, and let drain thoroughly. Transfer the beans to a bowl and add tepid water to cover by 1 inch. Let soak at room temperature for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
2. Drain the beans, rinse, and drain again. Put in a large saucepan and add fresh cold water to cover by 1 inch. Add the garlic, rosemary sprigs, bay leaves, and olive oil. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a low but steady simmer. Cover partially and cook until the beans are tender but not mealy, about 45 minutes.
3. Pour off any excess cooking liquid from the beans. Remove and discard the rosemary sprigs and bay leaves. (If any rosemary leaves have fallen off the stems during cooking, you can leave them in the beans.) Squeeze the cooked garlic cloves from their skins into the beans. Stir in about three-fourths of the cheese and the chopped rosemary and season with salt and pepper. Serve right away, sprinkling the remaining cheese on top.
