White bean stew is made by simmering cooked white beans with onion, tomato or tomato paste, and broth until the sauce comes together. For this oily version, start with a modest amount of oil and let the finished stew rest before serving.
Soaking dried beans before making white bean stew helps them cook more evenly and usually shortens cooking. Cover them with plenty of water overnight, then drain and rinse them; use fresh water for cooking rather than the soaking liquid.
Dried white beans are used in white bean stew; cannellini, navy, or great northern beans can work, depending on the style and availability. Choose beans of similar size so they soften at roughly the same rate.
Beans in white bean stew can stay hard if they are old, cooked in hard water, or exposed to acidic tomato before softening. Cook the beans until tender first, then add tomato or tomato paste to finish the stew.
White bean stew goes well with rice or crusty bread, which can soak up its tomato broth. A crisp salad or pickled vegetables add a fresh, tangy contrast to the rich beans and glossy oil.
Yes, white bean stew can be made without meat; beans, onion, tomato, and vegetable broth make a hearty base. This version already gets its richness from vegetable oil, so browning meat is not necessary for flavor.
Mash a few beans against the side of the pot to thicken white bean stew without adding flour. Stir them back into the broth and simmer gently until it reaches the consistency you want.
Yes, white bean stew freezes well. Cool it, divide it into airtight meal-sized containers, and leave a little room for expansion; thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat it thoroughly on the stove.
White bean stew keeps for about 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it promptly after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat until it is hot throughout.
To make oily white bean stew less greasy, let it settle and spoon the oil gathered on top away. If removing oil leaves the broth too concentrated, stir in a little hot water and warm the stew gently.

White bean stew with a little extra oil is a familiar Turkish home-style dish. Dried white beans are simmered until tender, usually with onion and a tomato-based sauce; this version has a glossy layer of vegetable oil and a little tomato in the broth. Recipes vary from household to household, and some include meat, but the pictured style is bean-forward.
In Turkey it is commonly served hot for lunch or dinner, often alongside rice pilaf, pickles or bread. For English-speaking diners, it makes a hearty plant-based main or side, with protein and fibre from the beans; a 100 g portion has 5.2 g of fibre. To keep the plate lighter, use less oil and serve it with salad rather than a large portion of rice.
