Frozen mirepoix—a pre-chopped mix of carrots, celery, and onion—cuts prep time to almost nothing, making this white bean dish a lifesaver on busy nights.
Simmered with herbes de Provence, lemon, and Parmesan, these beans turn into a creamy, savory side that pairs perfectly with chicken, fish, or crusty bread.
