How to Make Rosemary Bean Bruschetta

  1. Place 1 cup dried cannellini beans in a large bowl, cover with plenty of water (at least 2 inches above the beans), and soak overnight.
  2. Drain and rinse the soaked beans thoroughly.
  3. In a large pot, combine the rinsed beans with fresh water (about 6 cups). Bring to a boil over high heat.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until beans are tender but not mushy. Add more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
  5. Drain the cooked beans and set aside.
  6. While beans are simmering, blanch the fresh tomatoes: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add cherry/grape tomatoes and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel, halve, or quarter the tomatoes, depending on size.
  7. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped rosemary; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  8. Add the blanched fresh tomatoes and drained sun-dried tomatoes to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until tomatoes soften and slightly break down.
  9. Add the cooked beans to the tomato mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  10. Rub the cut sides of ciabatta slices with a cut garlic clove and toast lightly until golden brown.
  11. Spoon the bean mixture generously onto the toasted ciabatta slices.
  12. Garnish with chopped fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil.
  13. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
