Hearty White Bean and Garlic Stew

Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) white beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients and prepping the needed items. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.

2. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Allow it to warm up for about 2 minutes.

3. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté until fragrant and golden, approximately 1-2 minutes. Be cautious not to burn the garlic, as this will yield a bitter taste.

4. Add the White Beans: Stir in the white beans, ensuring they are well coated with the garlic-infused olive oil. Cook for about 3 minutes to bring out their natural flavors.

5. Incorporate the Broth: Pour in the broth, increase the heat to high, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

6. Simmer the Stew: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent any sticking at the bottom of the pot.

7. Season the Stew: Taste the stew and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Remember that the broth might already have some salt content.

8. Finish with Parsley: Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh chopped parsley, giving the stew a delightful freshness and color.

9. Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot. Pair it with crusty bread for a complete dinner experience.
