Za’atar is one of our most-used spice blends. We love sprinkling it onto eggs, salads, avocado toast, or hummus, but our new favorite way is adding it to garlic confit for a zesty, rich dish that is anything but ordinary. Confit may sound like an intimidating technique in the kitchen, but it couldn’t be easier. All you need is oil and time! Be sure to keep the cooking liquid. It makes a wonderful base for salad dressings.
Preheat the oven to 350F. In an 8x8 baking dish, add the white beans, garlic, and lemon slices.
Add the olive oil, Za’atar and salt.
Bake for 90 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Once the beans are done, make the spinach: In a medium frying pan over medium-heat, add the oil. Once hot, add the garlic and pine nuts. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the spinach, toss to coat with the oil. Remove from heat, and cover. Let sit for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.
Serve the white beans on the toasted bread with the sauteed spinach. Top with lemon zest.

Hi Sara,
Thanks for your question! I checked in with my coworkers who have made the recipe and they said it works at 90 minutes for a roastier final dish. If you’re looking for a softer texture, I would try adjusting to 60 minutes in the oven.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for checking in! I checked in with the owner and it is indeed 1 cup of oil for the recipe.

90min seems like a lot of time at 350 for this recipe, especially since other confit beans I have made are a 30-45min bake time at 400.
Anyone have any guidance to share on this?

Are you sure the ingredients are correct; you’re showing 1 cup of oil for 1 can of beans. Should it be 1/4 cup of oil?
