Over Christmas, I ended up with some spare cooked gammon which needed to be used, I had a hunt in the cupboard to see what else I'd got and found a 500g bag of dried cannellini beans. After combining a few different recipes from the internet, I came up with this, it was excellent and will become a 'must do' whenever I cook a gammon joint.
Tools: I used an instant pot and stick blender but you could probably adapt it to use a different cooking method.
Ingredients
1 x Onion
3 x Cloves of Garlic
500g Dried Cannellini Beans
175g Cooked Ham
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp Cumin
½ tsp Coriander
1 x Chicken stock pot
Water
Cooking Instructions
Chop the onions finely
Mince the Garlic
Finely dice the ham
Sauté the onions in the oil for 2 minutes if your machine has this function
Add the garlic and sauté for a further minute
Rinse the beans and add them to the Instant Pot
Add water (or ham stock if you are using it, the total target liquid volume is 2 litres)
Add the remaining ingredients and stir
Pressure cook for 35 minutes and then allow 20 minutes of natural release
Add any further seasoning to taste
Remove ¾ of the beans and ham along with some of the liquid and blend
Return the blended mixture to the instant pot and stir to thicken the soup
This seems to keep well for several days in the fridge, I will add it to my recipe book at some point (you can find this elsewhere on my site).
