Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 4 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 2 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed canned white beans
- 1.5 cups vegetable broth
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups, packed baby spinach
- 4 slices (optional, for serving) crusty bread
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Step 4
Add the drained and rinsed white beans to the skillet and stir to combine.
Step 5
Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the sprigs of rosemary and thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and let the beans cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The broth will reduce slightly and the beans will become creamy.
Step 7
Remove the rosemary and thyme sprigs from the pan.
Step 8
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, stirring to distribute the flavors evenly.
Step 9
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until wilted.
Step 10
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper to preference.
Step 11
Serve warm with crusty bread on the side for dipping (optional). Enjoy!
