Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Cook and stir olive oil and bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until bacon is fully cooked and begins to crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off excess grease, leaving a teaspoon in the pan.
- Stir shallots and salt into the cooked bacon; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in beans, chicken broth, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the beans begin to swell, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Uncover and continue cooking bean and bacon mixture until the liquid reduces and beans are tender, 5 to 10 more minutes. Add rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Adjust levels of salt and black pepper. Remove from heat, stir in extra-virgin olive oil, hot chile paste, and fresh herbs.

This was freakin' delish! Thank you Chef John (can't wait to try your neck sauce, btw). Only things I added were some swiss chard that needed to be used up (added at the end when I took the li...

I used dried cranberry & pintos as my son mistakenly mixed them together in our bean jar. I doubled the beans but halved the spices over acid reflux. It smells heavenly on this chilly summer day.

I have made these many, many times and my whole family (kids included) love them! I omit the rosemary, but that's it.

Overall, I really enjoyed this dish. The lemon was a little strong, so next time I might dial the lemon back a bit. I also added some chard to amp the nutritional value, and liked it as well. ...

This was delicious!! I let it cook down a bit so that the sauce was thick and delicious... don't skimp on the fresh lemon juice and zest or the herbs... everyone completely cleaned their bowls!
