Fagioli alla Salvia Bianchi (White Beans with Sage)

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the beans in a large bowl. Cover with water and let soak overnight at room temperature. Add water, if needed, so that the beans are always covered. Rinse and drain.

2. 2

   In a large saucepan, bring the water and beans to a boil with the remaining ingredients. Simmer gently, uncovered, for about 1 hour, skimming during cooking.

3. 3

   Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking for about 30 minutes or until the beans are very soft. Remove the tomatoes, herbs, and garlic. Drain.

4. 4

   Drizzle the beans with olive oil, to taste, and adjust the seasoning. Serve with the Braised Veal Flank.
