Creator notes

Why I love this: A good bowl of brothy beans is simple to put together, but oh-so-comforting! The ingredients here are inspired by Italian cooking, like anchovies, garlic, and lemon. For an extra flavor boost, simmer some herbs (thyme, rosemary, basil, or more parsley!) and spices (black peppercorns, coriander seeds, or fennel seeds) for 10-15 minutes before adding the beans. Discard any wilted herbs or whole spices before serving.

Preparation

Heat olive oil in a saucepot. Sauté anchovies and garlic until the anchovies melt into the oil and the garlic is aromatic. Stir in red chili flakes if using.
