White Beans With Radishes, Miso and Greens Recipe (2024)

Had to settle for a bag of mixed greens and regular red radishes, but this warm, satisfying salad was a hit for dinner after a chilly spring day. The miso makes it. I have a better chance of growing my own pea shoots than ever finding them at my local grocery...

Moved to comment for the first time by this a gem of a recipe! So easy, sooo tasty. Comforting, creamy beans, peppery arugula and radish, zingy citrus - delish! Felt like a comfort food, yet nutritious and budget-friendly. Hurrah.

I used the radish tops too!!!

Wow! I'm so glad I made this. It's a perfect spring dish. I made it (almost) exactly as written; I used chickpeas, however, as the only white beans I had were Great Northern, and I believed they'd be too mushy for this recipe. The chickpeas were diving. We'll definitely make this again (and again).

I'm vegetarian, and I know when a dish is especially good when my meat eating parents like my plant based meals. This has joined my pantheon of veggie main meals for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. I used red radishes and used their greens. I also used yellow miso. Substitutions worked perfectly, and this dish was incredibly quick and easy as well.

Made this in Paris, where I couldn't find miso. Subbed anchovies in instead, melted in the butter. Totally different flavour I imagine, but still delicious -- a new quick and easy weeknight dish.

Everyone loves this - sometimes I serve it over buckwheat soba noodles- kids gobble it up.

This is a spectacular dish, whether you're a vegetarian or not. We are not, but we love varying our diet and surprising our guests with new flavors. It is remarkable to find such a showstopper that takes so little time! I have served this to both vegetarian and omniverous guests and all were wowed. Just delightful!

SO good. Full of umami! Such a lot of result for such a small amount of effort.

Quick & easy. Prepped everything in advance. Cooking time fast. Next time use more greens - arugula, pea shoots and sprouts. More generous with lemon. Pretty presentation on platter. Overall, a crowd pleaser and very filling. Might try with poached eggs next time.

It's amazing how an easy 10-minute recipe can produce such a complex flavor and satisfying meal.... I need more like this! I threw in an avocado which added to the creaminess. Delicious.

I've made this twice and could eat it every week. So yummy. And a great way to get more beans into the diet. I like it with arugula.

Can use chickpeas.

Made this with arugula & loved it! Great, easy weeknight dinner.

Wonderful meal - I just used the radish tops as the greens and would definitely do the same next time. Only problem is my 1 year old liked it so much he ate all of his and half of mine. Next time I’ll double it!

Use the radish greens!

I’m the rare exception who found this dish inedible. I added a note already, not sure how to edit so have to add another here. The texture of the dish was awful. The beans were mushy and gloppy and the greens were weighed down by them. Perhaps if I had assembled the way the dish looks in the photo, where the beans, greens, and radishes are kept apart, it would have been better. But the instructions are to mix them together. Blech!

Actually inedible, for me. Made it exactly as written. The combination of butter, garlic, miso, and the white beans just tasted wrong.

I made this exactly according to the instructions. It's a good dish. Not really getting all the raves and 5 star reviews. I was thinking with the miso and all that butter it would be full of umami but didn't really get that. I added juice from a full lemon which helped a lot but still the dish struck me as a little bland. It's an attractive looking dish and would look nice on an easter table. Pretty good and easy . Not sure I would make it again though. Thats my two bits.

Easy, yummy, love it

added avo. flames

Used a mix of arugula and clover sprouts. Turned out great!

As hyped. Included fresh sliced turnips and greens. Used radish greens and added pea shoot and baby arugula greens. Lemon is a must. So delicious and satisfying. Would be delicious served on toast.

Sublime. And so simple. I used watercress and arrugula with red radishes. My only suggestion is to increase the amount of greens.

Made this as written using royal coronas. Loved, loved the flavor of the beans and miso, mellow my mind satisfying. Next time will sub out the greens and radish for some sautéed veggies (maybe carrots, shiitake and a handful of fresh spinach, sautéed in the butter before adding the garlic). The lemon juice was a bright note but will try a drizzle of mirin next time.

Served this as a hot dish, and made it vegan by using a plant-based butter. With some purple, black, and white radish, and spinach leaves, it was pretty too. Added the radish and spinach near the end, and cooked it until the spinach was just wilted and the radish were still al dente. Crowd favourite.

utterly sublime

This recipe is perfect and delicious exactly as it's given. So easy to make to.

I make this all. the. time. It's my go-to pantry meal. So hearty and comforting and the radishes add the right amount of crunch.

Oh so good and EASY!! Loved it
