Cooking tips 💡

• Sautéing the onion, carrot, and celery for at least 10 minutes brings out the natural sweetness and savory depth of a traditional soffritto.
• Using canned beans instead of dried beans allows you to finish the dish quickly without the need for pre-soaking and boiling, making it practical.
• It works well as a standalone healthy or vegan dish, and also makes a great side for grilled steak or roasted fish.
