Big 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 they usually’re completely unimaginable. I do a bunch of various variations of those, ending them with all kinds of various mixtures of components, however this one has been enduring. Toasted walnuts are a pure praise to the creamy beans, lemon brightens every part up, nutmeg is the wildcard, and Parmesan brings all of it dwelling 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 strong Frazer Parfum on my method down, and was on the base of the grand staircase, taking a look at starlight rings and beaded necklaces. A fairly woman, sitting along with her daughter, smiled at me. A couple of minutes later she requested if my title was Heidi, and he or she stated she knew me from my website – this website!
I am so glad she stated whats up. It seems we now have fairly a lot of issues in frequent, and I am positive we may 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 on the lookout for a pair of black ballet flats, and ended up making a pal as an alternative. It seems she has a website too (this is Jessica now), and as I used to be wanting by it, her lemon kale pesto with nutmeg recipe jumped out at me. I had some beans soaking at dwelling and determined to in some way weave the beans and the lemon kale pesto concept collectively.
I deconstructed her kale pesto concept right here. Skipped the puree, leaving the kale roughly chopped. A unbelievable 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, complicated, and offbeat method. Professional-tip: don’t skip the nutmeg.
Thanks for the inspiration Jessica. I am so glad our paths crossed!
