White Beans with Bacon and Spinach


Here's the other recipe I want to try soon.

Photo and recipe from Chef at Home/Food Network.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 lb. bacon, chopped
  • 2 x onions, chopped
  • 8 x cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 2 x cups dried navy beans, soaked in cold water overnight
  • 3 x bay leaves
  • 2 x sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • A few handfuls of baby spinach
Directions:
  1. Brown the bacon in a saucepan over medium-high heat then pour off most of the fat before adding the onions.
  2. Stir and cook until the onions soften and begin to brown.
  3. Add the garlic and stir for a few minutes before adding the soaked beans.
  4. Add bay leaves, rosemary and pepper. Add just enough water to cover the beans.
  5. Simmer until the water has been absorbed and the beans are tender, about 45 minutes.
  6. Stir in the baby spinach and serve.
