When they pop up like popcorn... that's a good thing.
together. One night, when we couldn't find anything else in the kitchen worth roasting, we dumped a can of white beans under the roasting rack before popping the chicken in the oven.
The chicken fat showered down all over those beans, giving them life. But because there were not enough beans to fill our big roasting pan, they weren't totally submerged in chicken juices or fat. So they got crispy. Marta and I hardly noticed the chicken that night: those golden-brown and crispy on the outside, but creamy and schmaltzy on the inside beans captured our full attention, and our hearts. We roasted many cans of white beans for the rest of those two years we lived together.
So the beans began again: If there was nothing ready to eat at lunchtime, and one of us knew the other needed some protein, we'd grab a can of beans off the shelf. We started making trays of crispy white beans for each other, and I had another three years of crispy edges and creamy centers in my life. We piled them onto bowls of dressed greens if we had the time and greens available. We ate them over bowls of yogurt or ricotta, or with an egg for double-protein snacking.
