Looking for a vegetarian recipe that is packed with flavor and nutrition? THIS is the one!

My mom makes it whenever she invites people over for whoever wishes to have a meat free dish, however it’s so good we occasionally have it for lunch at home as well.

A pressure cooker is preferred to make this to cut down on cooking time, but if you don’t own one, don’t shy away, you can use a regular pot instead.

White beans in Olive Oil

At gatherings there is ALWAYS at least one vegetarian dish. For my family this dish as passed down to me by my mom, this is a regular. Very healthy, and very tasty. It is advised that you make it with a pressure cooker to cut down cooking time. If you don't have one, a regular pot would do.
