This elegant soup is really just a simple purée of white beans, but top it with some earthy sautéed wild mushrooms and a dollop of herbed mascarpone cheese, and it becomes a refined first course. The trick to getting a smooth, silky texture is to purée the beans and vegetables with only a small amount of the cooking liquid first, and then to slowly pour in more liquid until you get a nice, creamy consistency.
It's Sunday. And it's grey outside. And, yesterday, my blog almost died a slow and lonely death in the cyber-abyss. I don't know what happened, but someone, somewhere, decided that my innocent, I-l...
Think of this dish as southern barbecue with an Asian twist. The pork is slow-cooked in a blend of hoisin and soy sauces and can be made a day or two before your gathering.
