Recipe Introduction
Sauté Beans with Sage
List of Ingredients
1 lb (450 gr.) dry “cannellini” beans
4-5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed whole
5-6 sage leaves
Salt and pepper
4 oz. (115 gr.) fresh peeled ripe tomatoes, diced
Recipe
Clean and wash the beans the night before, place them in a container and cover
with fresh water. Leave the beans in the water overnight. Drain the beans the
next day when you are ready to cook.
In a stockpot put water and beans and boil for about 20 minutes, or until the
beans are tender. Drain the beans and reserve.
Put in a skillet the extra-virgin olive oil and turn the heat to medium.
Add garlic and sage and sauté until the garlic will start coloring to a very
pale brown.
Add the beans, salt and pepper. Sauté on low heat for about 2-3 minutes then add
the tomatoes.
Cook uncovered on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the beans are tender
and the sauce thicker.
Stir occasionally adding a small quantity of water if necessary.
Serves 4.
