Escarole with Cannellini Beans

Ingredients for Escarole with Cannellini Beans

• 1 sweet onion, halved

• 1 cabeça de alho, cortada ao meio transversalmente

• 1 medium carrot, scrubbed

• 2 sprigs parsley

• 2 (3-inch) sprigs rosemary

• 2 ramos de sálvia

• 475ml dried cannellini beans, soaked overnight, drained

• 1/2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper

• 6 colheres de sopa de azeite, divididas

• 2 dentes de alho, fatiados finamente

• 2 folhas de louro

• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

• 1/2 colher de chá de flocos de pimenta vermelha triturada

• 1 head of escarole, leaves torn

• 30g finely grated Parmesan

Bring onion, garlic, carrot, parsley, rosemary, sage, beans, pepper, and 1925ml water to a boil in a large saucepan, skimming foam as needed from surface. Reduce heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally and adding water as needed to keep beans submerged, until beans are tender, 75–90 minutes. Season generously with salt and let beans cool in their liquid. Discard vegetables and herbs.

Heat 4 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium. Cook garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown around edges, about 3 minutes. Add bay leaves, parsley, and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in escarole a handful at a time, letting wilt before adding the next batch, until all the escarole is wilted, about 5 minutes. Add 120ml water and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, cover pot, and cook, stirring occasionally and maintaining a gentle simmer, until escarole is very tender, 20–25 minutes. Add 475ml beans and 240ml bean cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer; season with salt and pepper. Stir in Parmesan a bit at a time, followed by remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Divide among bowls.

Beans can be cooked 4 days ahead. Cover and chill.
