    Really good recipe! I made it without oil in the Instant Pot (steps 1 and 2 in sauté, then 7 min high pressure), used red and pinto beans, three cans of diced tomatoes (omitted tomato paste) and it turned out great. I will make it again for sure. Thanks, Richa, for another amazing recipe!

        Alicia, would you please refrain from posting on vegan recipe sites about how you went and took a lovely vegan recipe and put dead animals in it. Imagine how you would feel if you were browsing through your favorite food blog one day and read comments about how someone made a recipe even better by putting horse flesh or dog flesh into it.

        You have the entire rest of the internet to post about how you eat animals. Why do you feel the need to go and post comments on a vegan web site that will be offensive and hurtful not only to the people who read the site but also to the creator of the recipe, who has made a conscious choice not to put dead animals into her recipes?

        I wish Richa would delete such posts. It’s really upsetting to see such comments on a vegan web site, in response to recipes created by a brilliant person who is a treasure for the vegan community.

    My family absolutely loved this for dinner. Nothing could have tasted better on a cold and dark night than a hot bowl of yum. Next time I want to try it with a sweet potato. I am always so impressed with everything I have made. I love how your spice combos are always spot on.

    I made this tonight and it was delicious! I put it over whole grain elbow pasta and served cornbread on the side (Trader Joe’s mix that I “veganized” with a flax egg, unsweetened nut milk, and cut the oil in half by using applesauce). Three of the four people in my family inhaled it because I cannot please one of my picky teens.

    Wanted to also share that all the dishes I have made from your website are very tasty and ones I will make repeatedly. Thank you for all the time and effort you put forth in creating your recipes and mainting your web site!

    Thanks for this delicious recipe – I cooked mine in my slow cooker on high for 4 hours (probably could have still gone for another hour had I not needed to go to sleep!) and it was delightful.

    I’ve been telling everyone about it! 🙂

    This looks delicious! Just a heads up though, in the first instruction it says “ass onion and garlic…”. Thinking it should say “add”.

While these are all technically white beans, these aren't just different names for the same type of bean. In fact, each of these is actually a distinct varietal.

Do cannellini beans have to be soaked before cooking? ›

First, soak the beans.

You'll need to do this step the day, or at least 8 hours, before you plan to cook the beans. It can be a bit of a pain to plan ahead, but it's totally worth it – soaking the beans shortens their cooking time, and it makes them easier to digest.

Are cannellini beans a good substitute for black beans? ›

White beans are another great replacement for black beans! They have a creamy texture and come in many different varieties- Navy beans, Great Northern Beans, Cannellini Beans, or Lima Beans.

What's the difference between white northern beans and cannellini beans? ›

"The difference between the two rests primarily with the heartiness of the cannellini over the northern," explains Vince Hayward, the president of Camellia Brand beans.

Canned beans are packed in a solution of water, salt, and starch. That solution can leave a glossy film on the beans, interfering with not only mouthfeel (slimy beans are a little off-putting), but also the ability of the beans to cling to other ingredients in the dish and absorb those flavors.

Should I rinse cannellini beans before adding to soup? ›

Unless the recipe tells you to keep the canned beans in their liquid, you should drain your can and give the beans a good rinse before using. This will improve the flavor and texture of your finished dish. Open your cans of beans using a can opener. There may be sharp edges from opening the can.

Soaking cuts out the flavor

In the course of his testing, Yonan found that soaking only cut down cooking time by 25 to 30%, and it also had real drawbacks. "You lose a lot of flavors when you soak them," Yonan says. "I've never had a pot of black beans as good soaking as when I don't soak them.

Can dogs eat cannellini beans? ›
