White Beans in Red Wine Shallot Broth
This classic dish simmers its way from pot to table in no time. Accompany meat or fish.
15-oz. can cannellini (or other white beans), drained
2 1/2 c. chicken stock
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 bouquet garni
Salt and pepper
Place the beans, stock, wine, garlic, and bouquet garni in a heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer until beans begin to break down, about 20 minutes.
When the stock is reabsorbed into the beans, remove the bouquet garni. Stir in the Red Wine Shallot Butter and season to taste.
