White Bean Gratin With Garlic

Recipe Ingredients

2		Garlic heads
1 1/2 cups	240g / 8.5oz	Dried white beans, such as
		Great Northern or navy
3/4 cup	177ml	Chicken broth
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Fine dry bread crumbs
3 tablespoons	45ml	Unsalted butter - softened

Recipe Instructions

Separate garlic heads into cloves (do not peel). Pick over beans and in a 4-quart kettle combine with garlic and enough cold water to cover beans by 2 inches. Gently simmer bean mixture, adding more water as necessary to keep beans covered, until beans are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

Drain bean mixture in a colander. Remove garlic and peel. In a small bowl mash garlic with a fork and gently stir into beans.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a 2-quart nonreactive baking dish gently stir together bean mixture, broth, and salt and pepper to taste. In a bowl with your fingertips blend together bread crumbs and butter. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over bean mixture and bake in middle of oven until golden and bubbly, about 20 minutes

This recipe yields 6 servings.
