Alison Roman's Spicy White Bean Stew | NYT Cooking 

UGH YESSS I've missed Alison so much! After searching on RU-vid, I realized that I've watched all her videos and was really itching for another one. Am I addicted to her videos? Yes. Absolutely. Without a doubt.

So, I made this recipe, but I stopped before she made it into a stew and I added spinach. THIS IS AMAZING!!!!! I recently went vegetarian, and this has been my favorite meal to make over brown rice. This recipe has solidified my love for beans ❤️ Thank you!

I appreciate that Alison consistently produces fabulous meals in such a compact kitchen, and without a lot of small kitchen appliances. Some shows make it feel as though you need a huge kitchen and a wide variety of kitchen tools.

I’d watch her even if I didn’t like what she was cooking, she just so fun and sassy.

I love this lady. I need a whisper of her everyday in my life. Period.

Why am I addicted to her videos? I literally watched almost every video because the recipes are easy and use ingredients I mostly already have or are not expensive. Better than requiring me to buy a special ingredient that costs $20 and I’ll never use in another recipe.

Totally appreciate the lovingly light attitude in Allison's presentation. It's forgiving enough to inspire creation.

I made this and it turned out to be fabulous! I substituted with kale, since I shopped at the budget grocery store this week. Also just used tomato paste with LOTS of red pepper flakes. In lieu of preserved lemons, just used lemon zest and juice. Added the extra olive oil at the end, as well as feta. Scrumptious! Way better than I was expecting based on "beans and kale"

I love that she always talks about toasting spice in oil/fat. An old roommate of mine taught me this trick years ago and you get so much more from your spices when you do this method

Hello all, I'm a former New Yorker living in Arizona. I still subscribe to the NY Times, despite not living in NY for 20 years. Thank goodness I do, because otherwise I might not have discovered Alison Roman and this recipe! This stew is possibly my favorite thing. Thank you Allison and I love watching your videos. We need more of them now that we're all quarantined for the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.

Is it weird how I love the way she transports ingredients?? So satisfying! 🙂

You have so much personality that I am compelled to watch you cook. And I have not screwed up any of your recipes. Keep it up. You are the best.

I just made the original stew for dinner again two nights ago and have been thinking about when I’ll get to make it again, lol. Now I can make this instead! LOVE Alison Roman! Thank you for a video that made me laugh (and made me very hungry) after a hard day.

5:11 white beans sauteed in olive oil, garlic, tomato paste and rosemary is one of our go-to favs

Some advice to the people in charge: upload on Babish/Epicurious/Bon Appétit upload days and around the same time. They all upload their videos at the same time and if not very similar schedules. The reason why I’m saying this is because once people are done with a Babish or BA episode, most likely NYT Cooking will pop up in their recommenced feed and you’ll reach SO many more people. I’m sure there’s a good reason that you guys upload at rush hour on a weekday but I promise you, you’ll get so much more traffic on a Tuesday or Thursday morning when the other cooking videos come out. I’m sure you’re thinking “why’s this girl so obsessed with us?” I totally am and I love this channel and I want a more steady upload schedule and if the demand is there, I’m sure I’ll get more uploads and we’ll all be happy. Also where should I send my resume?

I can watch Alison cook all day! She is witty, funny and creates some fabulous dishes!! More please!! She is why I subscribed to NYT Cooking

I actually love this one way more than the original stew, it’s sooooooo good!

Have made this on multiple occasions because it is delicious and have had several family members ask me for the recipe. This dish is definitely a keeper 😍

Alison gives us good recipes and makes them entertaining as well!. Thank you NYT.

I'm so excited that I got this video notification I missed Allison soooooo much.... I was having such a bad day ND this just gave me the 1st smile of the day❣️❣️❣️🤣

I’m so excited for another Alison video! She inspires the hell out of me!

Alison is just so good and relaxing to listen to. Great recipe, too. Looking forward to seeing more uploads with her:)

I am so obsessed with this recipe. It is so quick and easy to make. I have been topping with Greek yogurt and I cant get enough. I also used lima beans as one of my three beans the other day for a firmer texture and YUM. I also use kale and just pack it in there with a ton

I just made this. This is so amazingly good. This dish is going to be on repeat. Thank you!

Super! Thank you Alison!!I enjoy cooking, and especially LOVE making stews. They're fun and never fail. Looking forward to trying your recipes!

I just made this. Simply easy, delicious and so satisfying. It's a complete meal. I added more lemon to make it more lemony. Plus I added green peas.

Absolutely love you and your recipes found you this past thanksgiving and I’m obsessed Please think about getting a snap chat too! Of like your grocery trips We can see your regular life I can tell thru your videos you’re hilarious and awesome in your everyday life

There is room in my heart for two stews. And more!

Alison Roman you have harissa as a staple pantry???? Girl you’re Tunisian through and through LOL love this stew recipe very North African inspired with the preserved lemons and olive oil!

Love this! Will be making soon!

I've just discovered you, and now I'm obsessed. I've watched four videos, starting with THE STEW, and not only are these amazing recipes, but I love your silliness so much. Beeping along with the cars was my favorite part of this recipe. And the winks!

I have made this 3 times in the span of the last three weeks and I'm about to make it again. I love love love it!!! I have made so many people try it and they all love it! I have not had an appetite or particular interest in the same old foods lately, but this is so amazing. I have such a big appetite for this and I cannot wait to keep making and eating it!!! So goooood!!! I substitute: harissa paste for her recommended tomato paste and red chili pepper, the preserved lemons for regular ones, I put cilantro and kale instead of parsley and broccoli rabe, and use white lima beans (I think), and I love it! Its fabulous! I sometimes eat it with cheese. But it does not need anything extra like bread or meat, its so filling and so good! I highly recommended you make!

So... I love Alison roman. I made this soup and it was so yummy. I did have to make some substitutions. I couldn’t find harissa here and I don’t know where the heck to get preserve lemons here. But I had a Harissa spice mix. I roasted a half a bell pepper with some garlic and blended that with some olive oil and Harissa spice to make a delicious paste. Made the rest of the soup. Used baby spinach for the greens. Yum. The next day I tried to refresh the soup by add roasted cauliflower flower and I basically turned into a gas bomb 💣

I’ve made this twice and it is so delicious. It is now a family favorite. Thanks and love the video.

She's like my fav girl, Rachel Khoo "the little paris kitchen" loving her small apartment n tiny kitchen, now moving to the USA found allison on my RU-vid and again .. loving the kitchen, oh how I love tiny kitchen 😍 grow up in a country with tiny kitchen n seeing both cooks is homie 🥰😍

Amazingly, I have everything needed and I will be bingeing on this all weekend lol

Par boiling broccoli rabe 1st takes away a lot of the bitter taste - trust me it really does! Italian grandmothers know best - I cook with it every week and have tried to skip the 4 minute boil (cause it adds yet another step!) but always too bitter when I skip!

thank you for sorting out the creamy and bitter...spot on!

I made this last night--the broccoli rabe in this dish is wonderful! I wasn't sure how it would translate, but it was perfect with the harissa. Looking forward to eating more for lunch today. Thank you!

I was skeptical ("Enough with the bitter"), but I made tonight and it was so much better than I expected, including the original stew, also not really bitter. So delicious, with so much flavor, and I loved the white beans so much more. I used a Harissa that was in my local store (Harissa Du Cop Bon), and, whoa, so spicy. Totally cleared my sinuses. #TheBetterStew

Soooo GLAD YOURE BACK! I’d just discovered you. 💜💜💜💜

Welcome back you've been missed,i will be giving this a go and it looks so easy to make. I have a challenge for a new stew make one with Gochujang....Korean hot red pepper paste i am literally addicted to this stuff and i want something to eat other than Dakbokkeumtang

I, too, identify as a bean lover.

Love it! Making it soon!

Absolutely adore your presence, and your genius ways of incorporating lemon - I made the lemon red onion chickpea thing last night! Mind blowingly tasty (and complex) who knew?!

I could keep on watching her cook forever...

Amazing recipe. Thank you for this 👏👏

Tonight’s dinner, thanks for sharing your great dishes and making me look like I’m this fancy chef. ❤️👌❤️

Love this girl! I'd watch just for her personality!

I love the realness of tiny nyc kitchen. Keeping it real

MORE PLEASE!!! MORE ALISON

Alison, dear, you are wonderful. Keep cooking, keep making videos. You are a charmer and make the BEST food ever!

It's good to see that your kitchen is a normal practical kitchen, not what v watch at instagram

Best modern chef!!! You are great! Life is real in Alison’s kitchen. Ps. Love canned beans too and Anchovies rock!

Just made it. SO good.

Alison, you make me happy!

Great recipe! Love your "not prissy" kitchen!

WOW! Everything came together fantastically! I did add some tamari, and a bit of coriander powder - but the lemons, cilantro and feta at the end made me think I was gilding the lily too vigilantly - like I am often likely to do. And yes: she is SO fan to watch swirling and chopping in her small sun strewn kitchen! I am a new convert.

She is Love of Life kind of energy. Love you Alison.

I'm a bean girl too so I'll definitely be trying this one. Looks amazing!

Cooked this recipe today. Gave it the full works, a really delicious and healthy dinner. Just went a bit OTT with the Harissa!

I’m honestly so excited to try this StewPoint0 lol. Alison’s food can be so simple and quick for weeknights and yet packs so much flavour and interest, and I think that’s why the internet’s fallen in love with her

I wanna see her work through a Quarantine Pantry List

Love how it's a method, not so much a recipe. Personnally when I'm out of inspirations I look at cooking videos. Thank you for getting out of my funk

Missed you so much..Glad to see you..and thanks for the stew

Yum!!!! Can’t wait to make it

I made your chickpea stew last week and this week I'm making this! So excited!

Welcome Back, Grrl...Missed Ya! Goya Beans Best Beans...Get Me on That Newsletter...Love Watching You Narrate & Cook...Nice Outfit, Btw! ;-)

A whisper of feta LOL I love the way you cook. It’s funny, simple and the recipes are delicious!!

Amazing recipe! I love it. I added carrots, at the end - broccoli & parsley since I only had just a few spinach leaves (I put them as well) and it is great :))

I only work part time now.....weekend night shifts ( I am a nurse). I just made a batch of this to bring to my friends at work. Also made some orzo and roasted butternut squash to accompany it.

ALISON IS BACK I LOVE HER I MISS HER SO MUCCCHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I love her style of explaining the way to cook and i am inspired to cook again. Oh my god i love herrr

Alison has me drooling and my iPad keeps blinking ....I want to make this tomorrow

First time I watched her video, because I'm making this dish tomorrow. I have to say, I looove her personality! Cheers to stew.

gonna try this thanks!

fishing for a dinner out of the remnant of my last trip to the market, i had beans, onions, garlic, and some kind of delicate small green. This recipe came across my feed and i just went for it with what i had, and this is phenomenal. Probably not an exact replica of what you made here, but the beans were spicy and flavorful, the stew was rich, and pouring it over the delicate greens offered that perfect wilted texture. Thanks for a great recipe, i'll be buying up all the real ingredients asap to try it out for real.

I made this stew for dinner and it was so delicious. Now I have 2 of your stews that are favorites

Awesome recipe thx a lot

so nice seeing you back gurlllll

I just watched all of her videos several times. Now I need to buy all her books. I love her. I feel like a stalker.

We have a lot of love in our heart for GOOD FOOD! :-)

I finally tried this recipe but could mot fond Harssa. I used Sofrito and added crushed red pepper because I love spicy hot food. I used Red Chard and Dino Kale and homemade veggie broth and addeded baby white potatoes that i cut into big cubes So dang delicious, You ROCK! I did add toasted pine nuts and avacado on top. Thank you!

Made this for dinner tonight, we loved it. If you like brocolli rabe aka rapini you will enjoy this! I didn't have harissa so used Trader Joe's Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce (fermented crushed Calabrian chili pepper) I added a little tomato paste.

if you ever get a pet, I beg you to name it Stewie

it's like when you have two kids named Stew

nice i was waiting for a vid on this recipe

A natural " largess" ingredient gourmet! Cooking is an art when watching her do it.

This dish looks so amazing. Anything colorful, spicey, and topped with cilantro is the t*ts.

Looks delish 😋👍

Even better than the original Stew, IMO. The harissa and preserved lemon adds a wonderful extra zinginess.

“I won’t be skipping the dairy ever” and then tell us not everything needs cheese on her pasta. I’m so conflicted 🤣

A new Stew, are you kidding!!!??? Yesssss

This one with kale is better than ‚the stew‘ - beautiful dish with so much depth and still so healthy ❤️

Am i the only one here who friggin loves this girl 💞

Can you even imagine how much olive oil Alison Roman and Jamie Oliver would go through if they did a cooking video together?!

Both my parents were foodies and honoured the food they brought with them to North America. My Dad translated a serbo-croatian cookbook for my mum and so many stories about his inspired creations also making unholy messes in the kitchen because guys don't clean up -- We had a house in Istria when I was young and I fell in love with pasoulj so similar to what you're doing in this video; I watched innumerable videos in a language partially understood, remembered from childhood; short answer -- no set rules this is pretty much it. I'm vegan so olive oil works for me instead of traditional bacon fat which was cured but not full of sulphites; bitter greens fantastic get over it people; totally loved this. A side bar on food in the Balkans; harissa from the middle east just as likely to appear as palachinkas from Hungary which are essentially French crepes; or spanokopita from Greece with a different name. Love it all.

How fun is this woman? The recipe was amazing and easy to follow.

I just made this but used a leek and pak choi instead of broccoli rabe or kale. It is totally delicious!

I LOVE LOVE ALISON ROMAN

I missed Alison! More Alison please!
