Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 45 ml extra virgin olive oil
Heat a large fry pan over medium heat with the olive oil.
- 1 whole onion
- 4 cloves garlic
Finely chop the onion and roughly chop the garlic and add them to the hot pan, mixing continuously so they do not brown too quickly.
- 9 g all-purpose flour
After 2 to 3 minutes, once the onion is slightly translucent and the garlic fragrant, add the flour and mix for 2 minutes to cook off the raw flavour.
- 120 ml vegetable broth
- 180 ml milk
Add the vegetable broth, then the room temperature milk.
Flour, broth and room-temperature milk
Add the beans to the pan, season with sea salt and black pepper and mix gently.
- sea salt
- black pepper
Lower to a low heat and simmer about 5 minutes, mixing every minute or so, so the cream sauce does not form a film on top.
- 30 g grated cheese
Turn off the heat and add the grated cheese; adding it any sooner would separate the fats and lose the creamy texture.
Cheese and lemon off the heat
- black pepper
- chopped chives
Transfer to a serving dish and top with cracked black pepper and chopped chives.
