Cannellini Bean

If you can’t find mozzarella di bufala (buffalo mozzarella) for this late-summer dish, substitute fresh cow’s-milk mozzarella. Silverton sometimes serves the dish with slow-roasted tomatoes for a tangy-sweet flourish.

This baked beans recipe is the perfect accompaniment for your summertime barbecue, and the root beer flavor will make you think you're a kid again.

Thanks to paprika, this meatless main has a spicy, smoky flavor. 

A Sicilian combination—artichokes and beans—becomes another creative variation on crostini at Cinghiale.

A great side, but also a nice vegetarian dinner when made with vegetable broth and served over rice.
