Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups cannellini beans
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add both to the pan and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down.
Step 4
Rinse and drain the cannellini beans. Stir them into the pan along with the vegetable broth.
Step 5
Add the rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 6
Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Chop the parsley and stir it into the beans just before serving for a fresh, herbaceous touch.
Step 8
Drizzle with lemon juice for brightness and serve warm as a side dish, or over crusty bread for a more substantial meal.
