How long it keeps
About 6 months, set by Olive oil.
Indicative, for planning a build before you buy. The answer for a pack you already own is the best before date printed on it, and that only holds if it has been stored as the label says.
The oil at the end is not optional and not decoration. Fasolada is a poor people’s dish built on three cheap things, and the oil is the one that makes it taste rich rather than thin.
Serves 4.
Fasolada: the Greek white bean soup often called the national dish, built on beans, tomato and oil
dried beans simmered for two hours → tinned cannellini
The long cook produces a starchy broth. Crushing some of the tinned beans into the liquid gets to a similar body in twenty minutes rather than two hours.
fresh celery and carrot → tinned carrot and a stock cube
Celery does not exist in a shelf-stable form worth carrying, and it is a real loss here. The stock cube covers part of the savoury gap it leaves.
