List of Ingredients




1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 onion, minced
1 cup dry sherry
1-1/2 cups dried cannellini beans or other white beans, sorted and rinsed
5 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 red bell peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced
1/4 pound prosciutto, julienned
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, as garnish



Recipe



Place the beans in a large bowl. Cover with cold water and let them soak at least 24 hours. Drain.

Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over high heat until very hot. Add the garlic and onion and sauté about 2 minutes. Add the sherry and cook until reduced by about one-half. Add the beans and chicken stock, and cook just until the beans are al dente, about 20 minutes. Add the rosemary, oregano, and thyme, and cook until the beans are very tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the peppers and prosciutto, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.
