How to Prepare Cannellini Piccata [Vegan]

  1. Heat the olive oil, onion, and garlic in a deep skillet over medium heat. When the onion begins to sizzle, add a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and a generous pinch of red pepper flakes along with the lemon zest. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the mushrooms and wine and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add the flour, stirring to coat the veggies, creating a smooth texture. Add the water and stir until thickened, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the beans, another pinch of salt, plus a little more cracked pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Cook over low heat, uncovered, stirring frequently, until bubbling and thick, about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil and parsley. Serve over pasta or as a side dish, both with a generous drizzle of good olive oil.
