White Bean Ragout
I wanted a simple and healthy side dish to pair with the Grilled Chimichurri Chicken Skewers. I saw this white bean ragout recipe on Once Upon a Chef that looked easy, delicious, and totally different than what I normally serve as a side dish. Now that I think of it, I only really use beans as a side dish when barbecuing or with Mexican food. I will be changing that immediately! I really, really loved this bean ragout. The flavors were delicious and sopping up the juices with warm bread was amazing. We all, kids included, thought this white bean ragout was delicious!
How to Make White Bean Ragout
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the rinsed and drained white cannellini beans, chicken broth, cherry tomato halves, tomato paste, and white balsamic vinegar. Gently stir until well combined. Simmer for 10 minutes; taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Add fresh basil then pour into a serving bowl and serve. Enjoy.

The bean ragout sounds delicious! I can see it also as a great main dish with rice and a salad.
We eat a lot of beans, so this is our kind of meal. Easy, flavorful, and so good. And good for you, too. Super recipe — thanks so much.
It sounds very tasty!
Fast and easy is always good. Sounds like a great flavor combination, and it wouldn’t overwhelm your chicken kebabs.
The bean dish looks so inviting and conforting. I bet it was delish.
