OMG!!! Vegan Tuscan White Beans: Easy, Delicious, and Heavenly! 🌿🍲

Instructions:

  1. Sauté Aromatics:
    • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
    • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Cook the Beans:
    • If using dried beans, add them to the pot with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beans are tender. If using canned beans, skip this step.
    • Stir in the diced tomatoes, rosemary, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Simmer and Season:
    • Add the drained beans (canned or pre-cooked) to the pot. Simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If the mixture seems too thick, add a bit more vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency.
    • Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for a few minutes until wilted.
  4. Finish and Serve:
    • For an extra layer of flavor, stir in the balsamic vinegar just before serving.
    • Garnish with freshly chopped basil if desired.
    • Serve hot, and enjoy!
