Mains - Cannellini beans recipe jamie oliver
Once you've learned how to season and cook them in the right way, you can apply the method to cannellini beans, lima beans, cranberry beans, haricots verts, lentils, even chickpeas. Fresh beans will take about 45 minutes to cook, but you're more likely to get dried beans as they're cheap, and very reliable to cook.

Humble Home-Cooked Beans

My first thought when I saw these beans on a menu in Italy was "Beans on toast?" But then I tasted them. I felt pretty humbled that such a simple dish had been made to taste so gorgeous. Once you've learned how to season and cook them in the right way, you can apply the method to cannellini beans, lima beans, cranberry beans, haricots verts, lentils, even chickpeas. If you've grown your own beans, good on ya! Fresh beans will take about 45 minutes to cook, but you're more likely to get dried beans as they're cheap, and very reliable to cook. However, they will need soaking for at least 12 hours.

Ingredients:
- 11 ounces dried cranberry or cannellini beans, soaked in cold water for at least 12 hours
- 3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- A few sprigs fresh thyme
- A sprig fresh rosemary
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 stick celery, trimmed
- 1 small potato, peeled and halved
- 2 cherry tomatoes
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Red wine vinegar
- A few sprigs fresh at-leaf parsley, chopped
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 12 scallops
- 12 slices pancetta
- Skewers or fresh rosemary sprigs
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Lemons
How to cook:
- Drain the soaked beans, then give them a good wash. Place them in a deep pot and cover them with cold water. Throw in the garlic, herb sprigs, bay leaves, celery stick, potato and tomatoes. Place the beans on the heat and slowly bring to the boil. Cover with a lid and simmer very gently for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on whether you're using fresh or dried, until soft and cooked nicely. Skim if necessary, topping up with boiling water from the kettle if you need to.
- When the beans are cooked, drain them in a colander, reserving enough of the cooking water to cover them halfway up when put back in the pot. Remove the garlic, herbs, celery, potato and tomatoes from the beans. Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and pinch the skin off the tomatoes. Put the garlic, tomatoes and potato onto a plate, mash them with a fork and stir back into the beans. Season well with salt and pepper, and pour in 3 generous glugs of extra-virgin olive oil and a few splashes of vinegar. Stir in the parsley and serve on some toasted sourdough bread.
- Take up to 3 scallops and wrap a slice of pancetta round each. Thread them onto a skewer or a sturdy sprig of fresh rosemary and fry them on each side in a little olive oil until golden. Spoon the delicious warm home-cooked beans onto your plate and top with the scallops. Serve with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and any juices from the pan. Brilliant!

Ingredients:
- 10 cloves of garlic (, , peeled)
- 300 ml (1 1/4 cups) milk
- 6 good-quality anchovies (, , jarred in oil, chopped)
- 25 g (1 oz/ 2 tbsp) unsalted butter
- 1/2 a (, (400g / 14 oz) can of cannellini beans, drained)
- 2 tbsp creme fraiche or double cream

How to cook:
- Place the garlic cloves in a saucepan and cover with 100ml (1/4 cup + 2 tbsp) of the milk. Leave to soak for 1 hour, drain and discard the milk. Place the garlic back in the saucepan with the rest of the milk and 1 tbsp of water. Gently cook, partly covered with a lid, over a low heat for 20 minutes until the garlic is super tender.
- Add the chopped anchovies to the pan and cook, stirring until they have broken down. Add the butter and stir until melted. Pour this into a blender along with the drained beans, creme fraiche/cream, vinegar, olive oil and thyme leaves. Blitz until completely smooth. Transfer to a bowl and add lemon juice and black pepper, to taste.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with the prepared crudites. The dip will keep for a couple of days covered in the fridge. You can warm it back up for dipping or use it to dress pasta.
