I've found a coule of recipes for this dish. One was pretty simple and one was a little bit more fancy. Both look good. We have artichokes growing in our garden and I have plenty of dried beans, so I'm soaking the beans today and making the dish tomorrow.

Here's the simple version that uses canned artichoke hearts and canned beans:



6 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ teaspoon ground red pepper

1 (15 ounce) can navy beans, drained and rinsed

1 (14 ounce) can marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

salt to taste

¼ cup grated Romano cheese

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, season with red pepper, and cook about 1 minute. Mix in beans, and continue to cook and stir until slightly crisp. Mix in artichoke hearts, and cook 2 minutes. Season with freshly ground black pepper and salt. Top with Romano cheese to serve.

The real, Spanish version has smoked paprika, veggie or chicken broth, sherry vinegar, onion, saffron, bay leaf and parsley added to it. I may do some sort of hybrid recipe. I think that you could also go "French" with the basic recipe by adding thyme, white wine and tarragon.

Thank you, Tropit! Sounds great! Let's see if I can get my husband to try it. He loves Navy beans and I love artichokes.

I made the fancier, Spanish version last night. OMG! So delicious! I think that the key was to start by frying a couple of small slices of bread and 3 cloves of garlic in the pan and then setting it aside to crush up later with parsley and add to the stew in the final step. It really brought a lot of flavor to the dish. Here's the Spanish version:

Gracias! I haven't made the stew yet so I will start with the Spanish version as you like it a lot.
