These sturdy white
beans with the slightly nutty flavor, are often referred
to as Italian kidney beans. These little bundles of
protein are endlessly versatile: You can do everything
from whipping them up into an appetizer to adding them
to a soup or a stew. You can buy them dried or in cans.
If you buy them canned, just give them a rinse before
you use them. For dried: Soak them overnight, drain
and replace the water, and then boil them for an hour
or until fork tender. |
