Title: Fagioli - getting more taste
Post by: Quigley2010 on February 13, 2012, 10:43:24 pm

I would welcome suggestions re getting more taste from the basic Fagioli EDC recipe.  Cooking the basic recipe for only two (when one doesn't like pasta) leaves such a lot of left overs, if I could make it tastier it might help.

My DD's consultant made it for her Demo Delivery and it was delicious! I guess you could add salami and spinach to make it more interesting.

Are you including the chilli, garlic and parmesan?  They are all very tasty elements already.

A little spicy pancetta added along with the onion adds extra flavour (assuming you're not vegetarian!).

Mmm. Umami Paste instead of veggie stock. I made Umami today and can't wait to use it.

I was low on pasta earlier this week, but had already started this recipe. Instead of the pasta, I substituted 200grams of quinoa and cooked for 15 minutes instead of 10. The taste was vastly improved. I will never use pasta in this recipe again. I will use a brown bean rather than a white bean to add a bit more colour too.

I would bump up the amount of chilli and garlic used as they are the main flavourings.  I prefer capsicum instead of celery and use 500g of pasta as we don't like it soupy. We had it tonight for a quick meal and the kids gobbled it up.  :)

interesting you don't find the fagioli tasty - mine's plenty tasty. have to say i didn't really want to have it because i'm almost phobic about beans, but i think it's delicious - i actually prefer it to the risotto, well, i can eat more of it than the risotto. i follow the recipe to the T, but use my stock to flavour it well.
