INGREDIENTS
1 can (15 oz) Cannellini Beans
1 cup cooked Green Lentils
1 medium Fennel Bulb, sliced
1 small Yellow Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 cup Diced Tomatoes
2 cups Vegetable Broth
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cannellini beans. If not already cooked, prepare the green lentils according to package instructions until tender.
Slice the fennel bulb into thin slices and dice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.
Add the sliced fennel to the pot and continue to sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it begins to soften.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Allow the mixture to cook for another minute so that the flavors meld.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the cannellini beans and cooked green lentils to the pot. Stir well and let the stew simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the hearty stew into bowls and enjoy warm.
