How to Make 5-Minute Cannellini
  1. Rinse the canned cannellini beans thoroughly under cold water to remove excess sodium and thick liquid.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of olive or coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat until shimmering.
  3. Chop ½ onion finely and mince 1 garlic clove, then add to the heated pan, stirring gently.
  4. Sauté onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  5. Add the drained cannellini beans to the pan, gently folding them into the onion and garlic mixture.
  6. Sprinkle in the dried mint, basil, coriander, and cumin, stirring well to coat the beans evenly.
  7. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
