This was featured in our last newsletter and I've made it several times since we've had Royal Coronas back in stock. I think it's an almost perfect dish. It really shows off why heirloom beans are so great and make such a huge difference.
Recipe: Royal Corona Beans in a Creamy Tomato Sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloved garlic, minced
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 28 ounce can whole peeled Roma tomatoes, with tomatoes roughly chopped, liquid reserved
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup heavy cream
Flat leaf parsley for garnish, chopped
In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the garlic, onion, carrot and celery in the olive oil until soft, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Salt. Add the tomatoes and their liquid and cook for another 10 minutes. Stir in the stock and wine. Add the cream and gently cook another 5 minutes. Check for seasoning and add more salt if necessary. Sprinkle parsley over the top.
Serving suggestion: Ladle over cooked Rancho Gordo Royal Corona beans and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
