WARM CANNELLINI BEANS WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Drain the soaked beans and rinse them well. Pour into a large saucepan with the water, bay leaves, savory, and 2 of the sage leaves.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 35-40 minutes. Watch closely during the last 5-10 minutes to make sure the skins have softened and the beans have opened but still hold their shape. Remove the herbs and bay leaves. Leave the beans in their broth.
• While the beans are cooking, chope the remaining sage leaves. Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the onion, 1/2 tsp salt, and a few grinds of pepper.
• Saute over medium heat until the onion begins to release it's juices. Add the garlic and sage; saute for about 10 minutes, then add the wine and cook for a mintue or two, until the pan is nearly dry.
• Add the beans and their broth to the onions along with 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few more grinds of pepper.
• Lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes, adding a little water if needed to keep the beans saucy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the parsley just before serving.
• Enjoy!
