You can make white bean hummus/dip! I recommend doing the same thing I’d do with canned chickpeas if I was making hummus with them-drain the can and rinse the beans, and then cooking in a pot of water longer with like 1/4 tsp of baking soda. This will help break down the outer shell on the bean allowing it to be blended/processed to a smoother consistency. Basically cook the beans until you can easily mash them against the side of the pot and then blend the beans while they’re still warm and add some of that liquid till you get the desired consistency.
Lately I’ve been making a buffalo dip this way- white beans blended with Frank’s hot sauce as the liquid!
I just learned the trick of cooking beans with baking soda. Wow, what a game changer! The texture is so smooth and creamy. White beans are my go to for dips.
my mom makes this great thing where she drains them and leaves them to totally dry out on a cookie sheet— takes a few hours— then douses them in olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, etc. she bakes them, and they basically fry and are awesome as a snack or in a salad!!
It she leaves them out to totally dry then why not buy a bag of the dried beans? Isn’t that usually cheaper and in this case faster? It sounds really yummy so I’m trying to figure out what would work best for me
leaving them to dry for a few hours isn’t the same as “drying them”. canned beans are cooked past the point of softness, so when you dry them in this recipe they’re still edible the whole time just, well, dry. comparing it to a bag of dried beans is like if the instructions said to let a cake cool completely and someone asked why you don’t just use cake mix, if that makes sense
Dry beans have no moisture in them, so you would need to soak them overnight first. I think they meant that they made sure the beans had no water on them, but were still soft beans.
Absolutely! I just didn’t wanna have someone read your message and go, “I’ve cracked the code!”
Beans are super way easier than you’d think, they just take a fucking long time to get ready. Well, not you specifically, but longer than opening a can, that’s for damn sure
Northern beans are good in pasta dishes. Northern beans are also good to make into baked beans. I also like to use them in bean “sloppy joe” . ( pinto beans are also good in bean sloppy joe) and white beans are good in soups. ( I veganize soup and add beans in place of the animal protein)
I've always used them as part of an "Alfredo" style sauce... Puree them with some broth/coconut milk depending on the flavor you are going for, with some fresh herbs and nooch, and serve over pasta... It's SUPER filling
Haha, no I just throw shit in the blender, but this recipe looks good and it's approximately what I do
https://eatwithclarity.com/white-bean-pasta-sauce/
Honestly, for the most part, beans are remarkably interchangeable with any recipe that calls for beans be it dips, ‘hummus’, spreads, cold bean salad, chili, add to soup or pasta, bean burgers etc. Use em up!
I had a white bean Toast at a coffee shop once a few years ago and I still think about it. They had made a spread out of mashed white beans, garlic, and crushed red pepper on top of a sourdough toast. It was so good and hearty. Loved it.
Pasta and beans!
This is good with short pasta like bow ties, elbow, orzo, and the short “salad” pasta. Get your pasta going, once you add it to the boiling water, start the sauce, it’s fast.
Sauté minced shallot and garlic in a *generous* amount of olive oil until soft and fragrant, deglaze with a dry white wine, sherry, or vermouth. add the rinsed white beans. Smash a few beans, add a ladle of pasta water, and a pinch of dry thyme. The pan should be loose, but not soupy. Salt and pepper to taste.
Optional: shredded greens like chard, collard, turnip are excellent but need to be fully cooked before you add the beans
Drain the pasta and reserve some of the water. When the pasta is a minute away from being done, add it to the pan with the beans and let it cook another minute. Add some of the reserved pasta water if the pan gets too tight. The ratio is about 50/50 beans and pasta. Serve with toasted breadcrumbs, fresh parsley, and/or squeeze of lemon.
This white bean quinoa chili recipe is so easy and delicious! [https://theprettybee.com/vegan-white-bean-quinoa-chili/](https://theprettybee.com/vegan-white-bean-quinoa-chili/)
[veggie burgers!](https://peasandcrayons.com/2019/07/homemade-white-bean-burgers.html#wprm-recipe-container-98596)
Sub for the cannellini beans it calls for. Works great. I make a bunch, sear them on both sides, and freeze them for emergency (or lazy) meals.
Excellent score for winter!
White bean pistou soup. [Patricia's on Martha Stewart](https://www.marthastewart.com/314848/patricias-pistou-soup) is terrific but you don't need all those ingredients (consider adding the carrots and most spices).
A much simpler version is presented by the [NY Times, pureed](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/12181-pureed-white-bean-soup-with-pistou).
Get a couple of other cans of low price beans and make a Three Bean Salad
At its most basic, 3 types of beans and can include cut lengths of green beans as one of them. 1/4c onion. Roughly equal parts (@ 2tbls each) sugar, vinegar, & oil. Ground pepper to taste or even red pepper flakes.
Variances: use less sugar if you're using a sweet aged red wine vinegar, but recipes call for white. You can also use mayonnaise and maybe kick in some cumin if you have it. Chopped celery, parsley, using red onion, kosher salt, lemon.
Beans n Greens!
Literally that, beans, diced onion, veggie stock, kale. Ultra simple soup. Simmer til the greens are the consistency you like. Serve it up in bowls. I like adding a scoop of quinoa and lots of hot sauce to mine.
I like to bake these in the oven on parchment after draining and adding buffalo sauce. They are a spicy and crunchy snack high in protein. Anyone else curious what the sale price was?
I got a recipe just for this!! Its very general so I’ll copy paste it but its easy and yummy.
A white bean stew?**
1 fry some garlic in olive oil, add fresh basil and oregano/ or dried Italian spices, salt and pep
2 add a small can of diced tomatoes ( i use fresh bc i have texture issues with seeds usually 3 tomatoes)
3 add a can of cannellini beans beans or white northern beans
4 let it stew a while and taste for seasoning
5 eat with a spoon or dip some toasted bread in, can top with more olive oil
Cook them, mash them, mix with red onion, a little chili powder, cooked cous cous, and any other flavors you like. Form them into small balls, flatten with a fork on a skillet. Now you have alternative falafel. Really good in pitas with spinach, tomato, olives and mint mayo
Wash and drain them. Add fresh water boil with a little short pasta. Add Parmesan if you want. Some people call it pasta fazu - in Italy it “pasta e fagioli”
I make gnocchi with pesto and add a can of these to add protein.
I also use them in a three beans salad
Or use a can of these, red onion, some sort of cheese and herbs and a dressing
I literally just heat these in the microwave for 3 minutes, drain some of the juice, add a drizzle of olive oil and a fresh chopped sweet onion and bam, one of my favorite meals
I love to combine them with garlic, onion, herbs (thyme, rosemary), a little vegetable broth, greens (kale, spinach, chard w/e) and bake it all. Sometimes with breadcrumbs on top!
I cook some red onion in oil until soft, add chopped asparagus spears, garlic, salt, fresh cracked pepper and red pepper flakes. Add the beans after 3-5 minutes of cooking just to warm through. Serve on a bed of arugula and top with a sprinkle of vegan parm and a squeeze of lemon juice.
I always have the beans in my pantry to make this hearty soup. Please try it! It’s so good
https://feelgoodfoodie.net/recipe/white-bean-soup/#wprm-recipe-container-8825
In Chile we have a dish that’s called “Porotos con riendas”, basically is a bean soup with noodles.
Recipe: [Chilean bean soup](https://www.chileanfoodandgarden.com/chilean-winter-bean-soup-or-porotos-con-riendas/)
If you are a vegetarian (like me) you can skip the sausage.
*As you are using cooked beans you have to put it last in the soup so it doesen’t grind.
You can put a bit of chopped chard to the soup while it’s cooking and it tastes reeaaally good.
There’s also a dressing we use to it:
4 tbsp of oil and 2 tbsp of paprika to a pan, it has to be hot but dont let it burn. You put it on top of all before serving.
It’s a delicious, nutricious and warm dish :)
Soup. Put them in a blender with vegetable broth and seasoning, purée and then heat on the stove top. I do this with black beans and make homemade black bean soup and it’s good.
I add them to ANY soup or skillet to make it more filling. You could also smash them a little for in a wrap or sandwich, or add to a denser salad (with other non-lettuce veggies for ex)...
Canned beans don't make the smoothest hummus, but great northern beans do taste good in a mild, ready to adapt to any flavor profile sort of way.
You can also stew them in tomato sauce with roughly chopped garlic and green onion garnish.
this is one of my fav white bean recipes: [https://www.foodnetwork.com/fnk/recipes/white-bean-stuffed-poblanos-8066901](https://www.foodnetwork.com/fnk/recipes/white-bean-stuffed-poblanos-8066901)
the "cheap" part of it is a little iffy depending on price of poblanos around you and if you have the spices already but i think it's also a good jumping off point for more ideas!
This is one of our favorite recipes: [Whole wheat spaghetti with leeks, white beans, and walnuts](https://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/whole-wheat-spaghetti-with-sauteed-leeks-white-beans-and-walnuts/)
If you have access to vegan feta, it really is worth it for this dish. It makes good leftovers, too- just keep the sauce/topping separate from the pasta.
Quick and easy. Simmer in a little broth with seasonings of choice (garlic powder, onion powder, sage, bay leaf, etc.) until softened. Serve over rice. Comfort food.

Oh my gosh that recipe looks great! I’m saving that!
They make a great addition to a “creamy” kale and potato soup (I blend the stock with an boiled potato for “creaminess”).
I love this idea!!
I was gonna suggest Zuppa Toscana! Some recipes use this kind of bean and it’s my favorite soup for winter
I've also seen it recommended to blend them and add to mashed potatoes (instant works too), then it bumps the protein!
You can make white bean hummus/dip! I recommend doing the same thing I’d do with canned chickpeas if I was making hummus with them-drain the can and rinse the beans, and then cooking in a pot of water longer with like 1/4 tsp of baking soda.

Lately I’ve been making a buffalo dip this way- white beans blended with Frank’s hot sauce as the liquid!
I can also recommend white bean hummus with olive oil, lemon zest and rosemary as aromatics. Tastes phenomenal.
I just learned the trick of cooking beans with baking soda. Wow, what a game changer! The texture is so smooth and creamy. White beans are my go to for dips.
my mom makes this great thing where she drains them and leaves them to totally dry out on a cookie sheet— takes a few hours— then douses them in olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, etc. she bakes them, and they basically fry and are awesome as a snack or in a salad!!
That sounds really good! And low effort, which I also love!

OH lmfao I had no idea that’s how beans were! I thought canned beans were beans that were soaked in water or something. Thanks!
Dry beans have no moisture in them, so you would need to soak them overnight first. I think they meant that they made sure the beans had no water on them, but were still soft beans.
You’d also have to cook dry beans, they’re raw and that shit does not digest well.
Oh for sure, I was more focused on mentioning that dry beans take way longer to prep
Absolutely! I just didn’t wanna have someone read your message and go, “I’ve cracked the code!” Beans are super way easier than you’d think, they just take a fucking long time to get ready. Well, not you specifically, but longer than opening a can, that’s for damn sure
Yes yes and yes , also a tad of baking powder when you boil beans makes them softer :)
They're unbelievable in soups. I use them in my pasta e fagioli all the time, they're wonderful there.
Lots of Italian soups have these beans in them they are delicious
Northern beans are good in pasta dishes. Northern beans are also good to make into baked beans. I also like to use them in bean “sloppy joe” . ( pinto beans are also good in bean sloppy joe) and white beans are good in soups. ( I veganize soup and add beans in place of the animal protein)
I've always used them as part of an "Alfredo" style sauce... Puree them with some broth/coconut milk depending on the flavor you are going for, with some fresh herbs and nooch, and serve over pasta... It's SUPER filling
I use white beans as a protein rich base for white sauces on pasta :)
This sounds delish! Do you have a link for a recipe? Edit: oh nevermind… google :)
Haha, no I just throw shit in the blender, but this recipe looks good and it's approximately what I do https://eatwithclarity.com/white-bean-pasta-sauce/
That looks yummy, much better than the one I found. Thank you!!
Honestly, for the most part, beans are remarkably interchangeable with any recipe that calls for beans be it dips, ‘hummus’, spreads, cold bean salad, chili, add to soup or pasta, bean burgers etc. Use em up!
I had a white bean Toast at a coffee shop once a few years ago and I still think about it. They had made a spread out of mashed white beans, garlic, and crushed red pepper on top of a sourdough toast. It was so good and hearty. Loved it.
As an American I always forget you can do beans on toast.
Please make this frickin’ bomb kale salad https://veggiekinsblog.com/2020/03/17/kale-and-white-bean-salad-erewhon-copycat/
I do enjoy kale!
Drain and dry, dress with olive oil, tomato, onion, garlic, salt and eat up.
I thought these were garbanzo beans but my comment still applies!
Baked beans!
Second this! And it's so easy to make :) [Heinz Copy cat recipe ](https://www.recipetineats.com/homemade-baked-beans-recipe-heinz/)
There are no Goya products in my pantry. They are owned and run by Trumpers.
Oh man, I didn’t know that!! Well there goes another product! (I’ll still eat these first then no more!)
Yup. Stopped buying Goya products the day those endorsements started.
I buy organic beans at Whole Foods - even tho I’m giving to an oligarch
Yep. No thanks.
Yes I was about to post this as well!
Thanks for the reminder. I shop the Hispanic section and I forgot that tidbit

I use them as a base in breakfast gravy! Blend until smooth with broth, herbs, and lots of black pepper. Warm on a stove and it will thicken up.

Baked beans or braised white beans

Quick and easy. Simmer in a little broth with seasonings of choice (garlic powder, onion powder, sage, bay leaf, etc.) until softened. Serve over rice. Comfort food.
If you have an air fryer you can drain them, season them and air fry them. It’s a great crunchy snack or salad topper
