Hints & Tips

  • Use fresh beans if you can – If you have time, cook dried cannellini beans for a creamier texture and deeper flavour.
  • Add greens – Stir in a handful of spinach or kale just before serving for extra colour and nutrients.
  • Boost flavour – Add a splash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for an extra flavour lift.
  • Serve with bread – Crusty bread or garlic toast is perfect for soaking up the delicious broth.
  • Make ahead – This stew tastes even better the next day after the flavours have melded together.
