The ingredients needed to make Beans with Fresh Tomato and Herbs:
  1. Get 150 g dried snow cap beans, chickpeas or white beans (soak overnight/8 hrs)
  2. Take 1 onion, diced
  3. Make ready 1/2 tsp fennel seeds, lightly ground
  4. Get 1/2 tsp coriander seeds, lightly ground
  5. Prepare 1 medium tomato, roughly chopped
  6. Get 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
  7. Make ready 300 ml vegetable, chicken or kombu broth
  8. Make ready 1 bay leaf
  9. Get 3-4 leaves fresh basil
  10. Take 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  11. Make ready 2-3 sprigs fresh coriander/cilantro
  12. Get 2-3 sprigs fresh parsley
  13. Make ready to taste Salt and pepper

Remove from the heat, and add the fresh, chopped herb, and season with the salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes if you are using them. I always have fresh herbs and these three are my staples.

Instructions to make Beans with Fresh Tomato and Herbs:
  1. Soak beans overnight. Drain before using.
  2. Saute onion with coriander seeds and fennel seeds until onions are soft and slightly golden.
  3. Add tomato and cook until the tomato's juices have cooked down and it looks saucy.
  4. Add beans, bay leaf and enough broth to cover everything. Bring to a boil.
  5. When it starts to boil, add the potatoes. Cover with lid, turn to a lower heat and cook for about 1 hour or until the beans are the softness you like (I like mine a little firm - about 1 hour cooking).
  6. Give it a stir every 15 minutes or so. It'll start to thicken up as the broth evaporates and potatoes cook. Add more broth or water if it seems too low.
  7. This is my batch of fresh herbs :) Chop them right before adding to the pot.
  8. When you're satisfied with the softness of the beans, season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the herbs. I like to save a few leaves from the parsley or cilantro to garnish the dish.
  9. I also like to add some creamy yogurt (or you could use sour cream, creme fraiche, etc.) and a dash of lemon olive oil to top it off.

To make the chimichurri, I just chopped herbs with scissors and added oil + spices - that's it! ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more, as desired. Otherwise, process the soup in batches in a regular blender and return to the soup pot to warm. Combine the beans, fresh herb packet or the dried herbs and water in a large saucepan or stockpot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until the beans are cooked through but. Dried beans can taste worlds better than canned, but you have to follow a couple of simple rules to get the best results.
