Mes-ciua
Bean Soup


Mes-ciua

Ingredients:

1 cup A.G.F. Cannellini beans
1 cup A.G.F. Garbanzo beans
3 /4 cup Giacomo Santoleri farro
3 quarts water
2 tsp sea salt
1 /2 tsp black pepper
1/3 cup A.G. Ferrari Foods extra virgin olive oil
1 /2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Region: Liguria



Instructions:

Wash beans; soak overnight in two separate pots. Keep beans in separate pots and simmer each in 4 cups of water for about an hour (until tender). When beans are finished, simmer farro with 4 cups of water for 15 minutes. Add beans (with their water) into the farro. Add salt and pepper, simmer for 10 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano and extra virgin olive oil. Serve hot.

Serves 4 to 5.

This simple Ligurian soup is typically made in the winter with the remnants of the fall harvest.

Tips:

  • This soup tastes better when made the night before. Refrigerate overnight.
  • If you make the soup ahead of time, do not add the cheese and the olive oil until you reheat it.
  • If the soup becomes too thick, add some vegetable stock or water until you get the preferred consistency.
