Look, there's nothing wrong with making stir-fries 5 nights a week. But if you're in the mood to shake things up, let us make the case for these Italian dinner cakes made with white beans, pecorino cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. (And don't let the fancy cheese intimidate you! The pecorino can easily be swapped for Parmesan.)
White beans (such as cannellini and navy beans) are protein-packed and rich in micronutrients like iron and folate. As legumes, they're part of the famously healthy Mediterranean diet. If you pay any attention to nutrition, you already know that this eating pattern is linked to a healthy list of benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
We could go on and on about the nutritional potency of this dish, but we're equally excited about how flavorful and fun to eat these little fritters are. Between the rosemary, sun-dried tomatoes, pecorino and/or Parmesan cheese, and shallots, you're bound to make little yummy noises between each bite. (OK, maybe it's just us who do that!)
Want to set the whole table? Try pairing this dish with our butter lettuce and pumpkin seed salad and rice pilaf.

Kitchen Kit
What we're using
From dicing vegetables to breaking apart a chicken, having a solid chef's knife is going to make your life in the kitchen worlds easier and more enjoyable. Luckily, you don't need to shell out thousands to get there (leave that to the pros). There are plenty of quality knives in the neighborhood of $100–$150. And one of our favorites is this 8-inch Global chef's knife.
This is easily the best kitchen knife I've ever owned. Made with stainless steel, it's weighty and solid but not overly heavy. (The handle is actually filled with sand to help keep it light.) The blade is super sharp and precise, and I find that this is the only knife I need, no matter what I'm cooking.
