What are cannellini beans?

If the name cannellini might seem foreign, you’d be correct.  Cannellini beans are white Italian beans.  The Italian word translates to “small tubes.”

Cannellini beans belong to the same group as Navy and Great Northern Beans.  Cannellini beans are largest white beans and are sometimes referred to as White Kidney Beans.  They are a hearty legume and often used in soups, stews, and chilis.

If you cannot find cannellini beans at your local grocery store, Great Northern Beans are a good substitute.  If you would like to make this using dried beans, you will need to plan ahead of time.  Dried beans have to be soaked prior to cooking.  There are two methods of doing this:

  1. In a large bowl, cover beans by 3 inches with cold water, cover and set aside at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Quick soaking method: In a large pot, cover beans by 3 inches with cold water, cover and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, remove pot from heat and set aside, covered, for 1 hour.

After either method, drain the beans before using them as directed in the recipe.
