Ingredients for 6 people:

• 800 g of boiled cannellini beans
• 1 twig of sage
• 2 garlic cloves
• 4 spoonfuls of tomato puree
• 3 spoonfuls of oil
• 1 three-fingered pinch of salt
• 1 two-fingered pinch of pepper

What you need:

• Wide pot that can hold all the ingredients
• Low pot that can hold all the ingredients.

Method:

1. Cover the bottom of the pot with oil.
2. Add the crushed garlic and turn the fire on.
3. Brown the garlic for 1-2 minutes, making sure it doesn’t burn.
4. Add the tomato puree and salt, and cook for 5 more minutes.
5. Add the beans and cook for another 5 minutes.
6. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes.

Note: Serve hot, preferably in an earthenware casserole to keep them warm. We eat this dish on cold winter evenings, but it’s also enjoyed at summer country fairs. Everyone loves it!
