Tomato White Bean Bake with Rosemary Biscuits

January 12, 2025 No Comments

Every January I attempt to clean up my act. I feel the need to simplify my diet focusing less on cheese and more on, you know, vegetables and stuff. This is never an attempt to lose weight, it’s more an attempt to make chiller meals and generally feel more nutritionally balanced. Well, clearly 2025 didn’t work out that way because my first recipe of the year is decked out in biscuits. I don’t know how to explain this. I’m not sure I want to explain this. Comfort food just feels right at the moment. This year started with a snarl so I responded with this Tomato White Bean Bake with Rosemary Biscuits. Sometimes you just have to be soft when the world feels hard and there’s nothing softer than a fluffy biscuit.

There are few things on this planet as comforting and cozy as a big bowl of creamy soup. And today’s Red Leicester Broccoli Soup is a prime example of just that. This rich, stick-to-ribs dish features a classic mirepoix simmered with white beans and then pureed. Premium Red Leicester cheese is melted into the velvety soup before lightly steamed broccoli is folded in. This soup is luscious, thick, and completely captivating. And it’s not horrible for you, which is more than I can say for most beloved creamy soups. So grab a spoon and let’s dive in!

We’re at a seasonal crossroads. The calendar says “fall” but the summer heat lingers. Sure, we have a few cool and rainy days but the sun still forces us out of our sweaters occasionally. It’s an odd period to cook for. Soups are returning to our social media feeds like long-lost dear friends but there’s still all that gorgeous late summer produce kicking around. Enter this Buttery Zucchini Risotto – a dish that has one foot in summer and one foot in fall. This is the transition dish we need because we can’t be jumping from caprese salads straight to pot pies. We have got to ease ourselves into the heavier stuff and this risotto will help us do just that.

Earlier this week I brought you hand-formed pasta and today I give you beans on toast. Culinary whiplash much? What can I say? I contain multitudes. Sometimes I’m in gourmet mode, other times I’m the farthest thing from it. Today’s Smashed White Bean Toast with Garlic Scape Pistou falls somewhere in between. It requires only slightly more effort than a trashy home-alone meal. But the taste, well, that has “gourmet” written all over it. Complex but low-maintenance – a home cook’s dream. So let’s make it!
