One-Pan Seafood Fagiola
Craving comfort but too tired to juggle multiple pots? This one-pan seafood bean stew is your shortcut.
When the day feels long and the kitchen feels like a mountain to climb, this Seafood Fagiola is your best friend. It takes the rustic soul of an Italian bean stew and speeds it up by throwing everything into one heavy pot. You get that deep, savory satisfaction from the beans and a hit of brightness from the seafood without the cleanup of multiple pans. Expect something hearty and filling—it's basically a hug in a bowl for those nights when you just need to eat something substantial and then collapse on the couch.
Ingredients
- 2 cup cannellini beans — rinsed and drained from a can
- 1 lb mixed seafood
- 3 unit garlic cloves — minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 2 cup vegetable broth
- 3 unit cherry tomatoes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Method
- 1 Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- 2 Add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the tomatoes begin to soften slightly.
- 3 Stir in the oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Let spices toast for about 1 minute.
- 4 Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the drained cannellini beans.
- 5 Reduce heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- 6 Add the seafood to the pot. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.
- 7 Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately in deep bowls.
Variations
- Vegetarian Twist — Swap the seafood for extra kale or zucchinied ribbons to keep it hearty and veggie-forward.
- Extra Flavor Boost — Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end for a brighter, more acidic finish.
Notes
If you want a bit of extra richness, stir in a knob of butter at the very end before serving.
Equipment that helps
- Dutch Oven or Large Pot — Retains heat well and allows you to cook everything in one vessel for less cleanup.
