     Title: Creamy Braised White Beans
Categories: Beans, Dairy, Breads, Cheese, Chilies
     Yield: 4 servings

     1 tb Unsalted butter
     1    Head garlic, halved
          - crosswise
     1 c  Whole milk
    15 oz Can chickpeas; w/liquid
    15 oz Can white beans; drained,
          - rinsed
     1    Thyme sprig
          +=OR=+
     2    Sage leaves
          +=OR=+
     1    Bay leaf
   1/3 ts Ground nutmeg, allspice or
          - garam masala
          Salt & black pepper
     4 sl Crusty bread or thick toast
          Extra-virgin olive oil; for
          - serving
          Freshly grated Parmesan; for
          - serving
          Aleppo pepper or red-pepper
          - flakes; for serving

 In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high
 heat. Add the garlic, cut side down, and cook until
 golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

 Add the milk, chickpeas and their liquid, white beans,
 thyme and nutmeg and stir to combine. Season generously
 with salt and pepper. When the mixture begins to bubble
 around the edges of the pan (you don’t want it to come
 to a full boil), reduce the heat to low and let it
 simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened
 and tastes great to you, about 15 minutes. Season with
 salt and pepper, to taste.

 Use a fork to remove the garlic halves from the beans.
 Set aside until cool enough to handle, then use the fork
 to remove the cloves from the skins. Spread the cloves
 on bread or toast.

 If you would like the beans to be more stew-like, mash
 some of the beans using a potato masher or the back of a
 spoon. Serve beans and milk in bowls. Garnish as you
 wish, with a drizzle of oil, a sprinkle of Parmesan and
 a pinch of Aleppo pepper and black pepper. Serve with
 the bread alongside for dipping.
