Mmmm, lemony piccata ... who says it can only be made with veal or chicken? This version uses white beans (navy or cannellinis work well). Capers are optional ... I personally can't stand them, but they are a typical piccata ingredient, so use if you like. Serve with fresh hot spaghetti noodles.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
4 tablespoons flour
1 1/4 cups hot vegetable broth
1/4 cup water
5 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons capers, with brine
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can navy beans or 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can cannellini beans
Directions:
1. Saute onions and garlic in olive oil in a medium saucepan until transparent- do not allow to brown.
2. Slowly stir in flour and cook and stir until combined and rawness is gone.
3. Combine hot broth and water; slowly whisk into flour mixture until smooth and slightly thickened.
4. Add lemon juice, salt, beans and capers (if using).
5. Cook and stir until thickened a little more (mixture will thicken more upon cooling and once mixed with pasta).
6. Serve with hot spaghetti noodles.
