Ingredients
- 2 TBS olive oil
- ½ of a medium/large yellow onion sliced into thin half moons
- Salt and pepper
- ½ of a large lemon sliced into very thin rounds
- 4 cloves of garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 lb of asparagus or broccolini sliced into 2-inch pieces
- 3 cups of cooked white beans two rinsed cans
- 1-2 cups water
- ¼ cup parsley
- Cashew parmesan to serve
Instructions
- Add a pot to the stove over medium heat. Add olive oil. Once shimmering, add onion, ½ teaspoon salt, a few twists of pepper, and lemon slices. Let cook for about 5 minutes, until soft. Lemon slices should take on some color.
- Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook 1-2 minutes more, stirring to prevent burning.
- Add asparagus (or broccolini), white beans, and a cup or two of water. Bring entire mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, until vegetables are bright green but not soggy. If you have thicker pieces they may take longer to cook. Add parsley and remove from heat.
- Serve warm with cashew parmesan, fresh herbs, and toasted bread for a heartier meal.
