Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil, divided
2 yellow onions, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 medium yellow squash thinly sliced, divided
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. pure honey
1 lb. dried white beans, such as navy, Great Northern, or cannellini, soaked overnight and drained
4 cups chicken stock
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven or large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until soft and beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, and 1 squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 8 to 10 minutes (add up to 1/4 cup water if pot starts to get too dark). Stir in Dijon and honey.
2. Step 2Add beans, stock, and 1 cup water. Cover and transfer to oven. Bake until beans are nearly tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
3. Step 3Meanwhile, toss scallions, remaining squash, and 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Uncover pot, stir in vinegar, and top with squash and scallions. Bake, uncovered, until beans are tender and liquid is reduced and thickened, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
4. Step 4Turn oven to broil. Broil until scallions and squash are golden and lightly charred, 4 to 6 minutes.
5. Step 5Cool slightly before serving.
