Prep Time:

Cook Time:

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 leek, washed and thinly sliced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed

  • 2 pouches (15.5 ounces each) Green Valley Organic Great Northern Beans, drained

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

  • ⅔ cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps

  1. Cook the leeks: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the olive oil, then add the sliced leeks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to brown, about 6–7 minutes.

  2. Add the garlic and seasonings: Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the Green Valley Organic Great Northern Beans, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and ½ cup water. Stir to combine, then reduce heat to low.

  3. Simmer the beans: Let the mixture simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. Add the cream and cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened but remains creamy.

  5. Finish and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm with crusty bread for dipping.
