Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Drain and rinse the can of white beans under cold water, then set aside. Dice the red bell pepper and zucchini into small, even pieces. Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm for about a minute until it shimmers slightly.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Next, add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Once the onion and garlic are cooked, add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the vegetables.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
- After the vegetables are cooked, gently fold in the rinsed white beans. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the beans to heat through and absorb the flavors of the vegetables.
- Once everything is heated through, taste the hash and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the vegetable white bean hash to a serving dish.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious Vegetable White Bean Hash warm!
Tips
- Ingredient Prep is Key: Chop all vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
- Don't Rush the Sautéing: Allow onions and garlic to develop a rich, caramelized flavor by cooking them slowly over medium heat.
- Keep Vegetables Crisp: Avoid overcooking zucchini and bell peppers – they should remain slightly tender with a bit of crunch.
- Season Gradually: Add salt and pepper in layers, tasting as you go to build depth of flavor.
- Fresh Herbs Matter: Use freshly chopped parsley just before serving to add a bright, fresh finish to the dish.
- Customize Your Hash: Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or swap beans for different protein variations.
- Serve Hot: This hash is best enjoyed immediately while the vegetables are still warm and the flavors are at their peak.
