Why this spice: The same Tuscan lemon-bean idea goes hands-off: Collected Foods Tuscan Grill Italian Seasoning does the herb work while the slow cooker softens everything.

Ingredients

• 1 onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cans (15 oz) cannellini beans, drained
• 4 cups stock
• 2 tbsp Collected Foods Tuscan Grill Italian Seasoning
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 cup cream (stir in at end) or 4 oz cream cheese
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• Kale or spinach, handful, optional

Directions

1. Combine onion, garlic, beans, stock, Tuscan Grill seasoning, salt, and bay leaf in a slow cooker.
2. Cook on LOW 6–7 hours or HIGH 3–4 hours.
3. Remove bay leaf. Mash some beans against the side for thickness. Stir in cream, lemon, and greens if using; cook 10 more minutes.
