Caballero Bean

Caballero Beans are a versatile, easy-to-like, mid-sized white bean with an unusual creamy texture. Despite its thick but soft-skinned appearance, this bean does not require any butter or cream to achieve its rich, indulgent flavor. Instead, a simple combination of garlic, olive oil, and water allows the bean to shine. These beans are perfect for pot beans, soups, stews, and casseroles, and they offer a refreshing change from bland, gummy Navy beans. Plus, they double in size when cooked! For a delicious and satisfying meal, top a serving of caballero beans with sauteed mushrooms or your favorite chile sauce.

I love these caballero beans - so tender and creamy with an exceptionally giid flavor. I like to brine the beans overnight in a soution of 2 quarts filtered water with 1&1/2 tablespoons kosher salt; then cooked with half of a white or yellow onion, couple of bay leaves and garlic cloves for about 1-1&1/2 hours until beans are tender, adding a bit more salt when beans are almost done. A splash of extra-virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt flakes to serve.
