. The types of foods in which beans are an enhancement, rather than the featured attraction.
These canned beans don't thrill me. Often they are mushy and flavorless—nothing like my homemade batches. Thankfully, I've readby Tamar Adler. It's a lovely book, with pages of beautiful prose woven around concrete yet creative cooking tips. And it contains an entire chapter about beans, within which Adler mentioned her simple method for transforming a can of beans: gently simmer the beans in olive oil for several minutes. That's it.
It helps, of course, to use good olive oil . I also like to add a peeled, smashed clove of garlic, or maybe a bay leaf or a few sprigs of thyme. After 10 to 15 minutes, the beans will be warm and fragrant, ready to be spooned over a piece of garlicky toast, or served alongside grilled sausages and sautéed greens. Finish with a final drizzle of olive oil, if you'd like, or a sprinkling of grated lemon zest.
