Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15 ounce) can chick peas or garbanzos, drained and rinsed
- 1 fennel bulb, core removed cut in half and thin sliced
- 1 small onion, cut in half and thin sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small red chili, minced (seeds and ribs removed), I used a jalapeno
- 1/4 cup parsley, fine chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon butter (more if you like a buttery flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make
-
Step 1: Fennel and Garlic ... Add the butter and olive oil to a saute pan and bring to medium heat. Add the fennel, onion, garlic, and red chili, saute until mixed through and slightly tender stirring often, 3-4 minutes - you don't want the garlic to burn.
-
Step 2: Beans ... Add the beans, a pinch of both salt and pepper, and cook 5-7 minutes until everything is cooked and heated through. Also, make sure that the onion and fennel are tender.
-
Step 3: Finish and Serve ... Add the parsley, and season with any additional salt and pepper if necessary, toss to combine and serve. A simple, but delicious, side dish. ENJOY!
