Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    Place the dried white beans in a large bowl and cover with water. Let them soak for at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.

  2. 2

    Chop Aromatics

    Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Beans

    In a large pot, combine the soaked and drained white beans and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour or until the beans are tender.

  2. 4

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the beans are tender, add the sautéed onion and garlic to the pot along with the fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and simmer for an additional 15 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and discard the rosemary sprigs. Serve the white beans warm, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
