Totally Sauced Cannellini Beans
White beans are a nutritional powerhouse. They’re packed with fiber and protein and a good source of numerous micronutrients, including folate, magnesium, and vitamin B6. But when they are teamed up with tahini sauce, garlic and parsley, it’s even more nutrient-dense. All great for your health! With this intrepretaion, I give another shout out to the team at OTK and Yotam Ottolenghi. The new and first book in a new series, Shelf Love, gives me inspiration every day.
