Ingredients

• 1 lb dried white beans
• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 cup chopped onions
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tbsp Herbs de Provence
• 2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 cup chopped fresh tomatoes

• 1-1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 Tbsp Herbs de Provence
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp white pepper

Instructions

1. This rich, flavorful bean dish is a hearty vegetarian entree or an assertive accompaniment for roast lamb. The Herbs de Provence Cream provides a perfect finish.
2. Soak the beans overnight in enough water to cover them (or bring beans and water to a boil, turn off the heat, and soak, covered, 1 hour). Drain.
3. Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic and Herbs de Provence and sauté 5 minutes, stirring. Add the soaked beans, broth, tomatoes, parsley, and pepper and bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer for 2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Serve hot, topped with Herbs de Provence Cream.
