1½ lb canned white beans, rinsed
14⅛ oz yellow onion
2 clove garlic
7 oz yellow onion
2⅛ tbsp olive oil
3 cups vegetable broth
1.2 g black pepper
6 g ground cumin
3.2 g kosher salt
8 g fresh thyme

Steps

Pat 1½ lb canned white beans, rinsed dry and salt it. Heat 2⅛ tbsp olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Brown the white beans on all sides. Move it to a plate.
Lower the heat. Cook 14⅛ oz yellow onion and 14⅛ oz yellow onion with a pinch of salt until the onion softens, about 6 minutes. Add 2 garlic cloves and 6 g ground cumin and stir for 30 seconds.
Return the white beans and any juices. Add the vegetable broth and 8 g fresh thyme. The liquid should come about halfway up the main ingredient. Add a splash of water if it does not.
Cover and simmer gently until the white beans is hot and sauced, about 20 minutes. If the sauce is thin, uncover it for the last 10 minutes. Taste for salt. Discard bay leaves before serving.
