Description
Marinaded white beans are my go-to for an aperitif with champagne, crusty bread and a cheese platter. This simple recipe takes just minutes to bring together and can be made up to 1 day in advance.
Ingredients
1 can of white beans, preferably butter beans, great northern or cannellini, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot or red onion
1 clove of finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley and cilantro
1 tablespoon white or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
1 /2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Add all ingredients to a medium sized bowl and gently combine. Let combine for a minimum of 20 minutes at room temperature before serving or up to 2 days in the fridge.
2. Serve with fresh crusty bread or toast.
Notes
Mint, chives, thyme, or dill can also be mixed in with the parsley and cilantro. Recipe can be doubled.
