How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 1 (15 ounce) can white beans (such as cannellini or butter beans), drained and rinsed
- 3 large handfuls arugula
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 4 ounces broccolini or asparagus, finely chopped
- 1 zucchini, quartered and sliced
- 1/4 onion, diced
- 3 tablespoons pesto (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and diced onion. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes.
- Step 2: Add the chopped broccolini or asparagus and the zucchini to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, toast the sourdough slices in a toaster or in the oven broiler. If using a broiler, keep an eye on it and flip the bread after the first 1 to 2 minutes to avoid burning. Chop or tear the toasted bread into bite-sized pieces and drizzle with some olive oil. Set aside.
- Step 4: Add in the drained beans and pesto and stir until warmed through, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and let cool for several minutes before folding in the arugula and toasted sourdough pieces. The arugula should soften from the residual heat when mixed in, but not wilt completely.
- Serve: Divide onto plates and enjoy immediately with the lemon juice squeezed on top.
