White Beans in DC

Think cassoulet.

Ingredients:

1 lb bag of Spanish small white beans (habichuelas blancas, gracias “Goya”)
water
1 chicken or beef bullion cube
¼ large onion chopped
2-3 fresh garlic cloves diced
1 pinch of turmeric
1 dash cumin
1 dash ground white mustard powder
1 dash herbs de Provence
2 tablespoons butter
salt, pepper
Sausage, kielbasa, bacon etc. (I used some uncooked turkey breakfast sausage)
A few tablespoons half/half, whole milk, cream etc

Directions:

Prepare the beans as directed either boiling them or soaking them over night (or cheat using canned beans…)

Simmer on low heat or in a crock pot. Add more liquid as needed to make beans soft and saucy.

Add the other ingredients to taste, and slow cook.

Enjoy.
