Provencal White Beans

Provencal White Beans features tender great northern beans simmered with onions, carrots, celery, and a bouquet of fresh herbs, then finished with a savory Parmesan shower. The broth reduces into a light, velvety sauce that coats each bean, making it a comforting side for roasted lamb, grilled meats, or rustic weeknight dinners.

Provencal White Beans
  1. 1

    Combine the beans with their liquid and the chicken stock in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Drain, saving the stock.

  2. 2

    Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add the onions, diced carrots, and celery, and cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, rosemary, thyme, and garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add the beans and 2 cups of the reserved cooking stock to the skillet. If you are short on liquid, add more stock or water to reach 2 cups.

  4. 4

    Simmer until the stock reduces to form a light sauce, about 15 minutes. Add more stock if needed.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with chopped parsley to serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
