I wasn't able to get dried beans anywhere So, bought canned beans. I
have 6 cans containing Canellini beans - each can 246g drained weight.

I have the garlic, herbs etc, now I just need a recipe using the canned
beans.

I would be grateful for any recipe or advice!

I love and make canellini salad with thyme, chopped onion, a squirt of lemon
and ... wait for it... great olive oil! I love it so much that if there is
some in the refrigerator, I sometimes wake at night because I have dreamed
of it.

Bean bakes, casseroles and bean pates are some of my favourite dish's.
Did you have some particular form in mind? here's a rather heavy on the
meat recipe and one with no meat.

Assuming 246g = about 1 cup or 8.67 ounces and all beans mentioned may
be substituted, one bean for another.

Red Kidney Beans Casserole Bercy

Melt 1/2 cup butter; stir in 6 thinly sliced small white onions, i green
pepper finely chopped and freed from seeds and white ribs, and cook over
a gentle flame for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add 1 clove of
garlic, chopped fine.

Have ready 2 & 3/4 to 3 cups of cooked beans, tender but not mushy,

Add the onion green pepper mixture to the beans and season highly with
salt, pepper and a few grains of cayenne.

Lay 1/3 of the beans in a greased baking dish. Over them arrange a
layer of 6 frankfurters, previously slightly browned; then add a layer
of beans, another layer of about a dozen browned pork sausage links,
still another layer of beans, and top with a layer of lean thinly sliced
cooked ham, the slices cut into individual portions.

Pour over all 2 cups of red wine, brought to the boiling point with 1
large bay leaf and 2 whole cloves, strain then mixed with 3/4
tablespoons of tomato paste. Place the dish in a moderate oven (350F)
and bake 30 - 35 minutes. Serve from the baking dish.

Frijoles Piman

Place 2 finely chopped, medium sized onions in a casserole; add 3 tbs.
honey; add 4 cups cooked, strained, beans over the honey. Season with
celery salt, a few grains of cayenne pepper and 3 tbs. of thinly chopped
chives, mix well.


Rub the lid of the casserole gently but thoroughly with garlic; cover
the casserole, place in a medium oven (350F) and bake until beans are
almost but not quite dry or about 30 minutes, top with grated cheese and
brown under the broiler for a minute or 2, serve from the casserole dish
with hot tortillas.

Thank you from me also, Ranée.

Your friend has some wonderful looking recipes. I've already copied
and input the "New England Fish Cakes" recipe into my MC. Both it and
the "Tart-er Sauce" sound delicious and will be on my menu this coming
week!
