Large pan-fried beans are one of the best. By cooking big beans in a splash of olive oil, you get a crisped, golden crust on the beans and so they’re completely unimaginable. I do a bunch of various variations of those, ending them with all kinds of various combos of substances, however this one has been enduring. Toasted walnuts are a pure praise to the creamy beans, lemon brightens the whole lot up, nutmeg is the wildcard, and Parmesan brings all of it residence for the win.
Pan-Fried Beans with Kale: The Inspiration
Years in the past I discovered myself within the basement of San Francisco’s Anthropologie retailer. I would fallen for the rose & tuberose stable Frazer Parfum on my method down, and was on the base of the grand staircase, starlight rings and beaded necklaces. A reasonably girl, sitting along with her daughter, smiled at me. A couple of minutes later she requested if my title was Heidi, and he or she mentioned she knew me from my web site – this web site!
I am so glad she mentioned good day. It seems now we have fairly a lot of issues in frequent, and I am positive we might have talked about cooking, or images, or locations to go to for hours. Her daughter was a candy pea and really affected person with us. Anyhow, I really feel like I left the home searching for a pair of black ballet flats, and ended up making a good friend as an alternative. It seems she has a web site too (here is Jessica now), and as I used to be wanting by way of it, her lemon kale pesto with nutmeg recipe jumped out at me. I had some beans soaking at residence and determined to in some way weave the beans and the lemon kale pesto thought collectively.
I deconstructed her kale pesto thought right here. Skipped the puree, leaving the kale roughly chopped. A improbable taste profile emerged with toasted walnuts and a little bit of nutmeg. Recent lemon zest and juice are added for the finale, tying all of the flavors collectively in an sudden, advanced, and offbeat method. Professional-tip: don’t skip the nutmeg.
Thanks for the inspiration Jessica. I am so glad our paths crossed!
