Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white beans, cooked
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables.
  2. Sauté the onion: Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until it becomes translucent, releasing its sweetness, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and bell pepper: Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper, cooking for 2-3 more minutes until they soften and their flavors meld.
  4. Spice it up: Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper, stirring to evenly coat the vegetables and awaken their aromas.
  5. Add beans and broth: Incorporate the cooked white beans and pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth, stirring gently to combine all ingredients.
  6. Simmer: Reduce heat slightly and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the beans to heat thoroughly.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving to add a pop of color and fresh herbal notes.

Notes

  • Use canned white beans drained and rinsed if you don’t have cooked ones on hand for convenience.
  • Adjust the spices according to your taste preference, adding more smoked paprika for smokiness or cumin for earthiness.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with crusty bread or steamed rice to soak up the flavorful broth.
  • For added protein, consider mixing in some cooked chicken or sausage.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
