Notes
-
- Use a hot pan for mushrooms: Searing mushrooms in a hot skillet without crowding helps them brown instead of steam.
- Don’t rush the onion: Letting the onion soften before adding the broth builds a better flavor base.
- Simmer time is flexible: Cook for 10 minutes for crisp-tender beans or up to 15 minutes for softer texture, adjust to your preference.
- Broth choice matters: Beef broth gives the dish a deeper, more robust flavor, but chicken or vegetable broth can be used if preferred.
- Finish with fresh herbs: A sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil at the end can add color and a fresh finish.
