White beans are a creamy, comforting, and nutritious main course or side dish. They are readily available canned or dried. If using dried beans, you will need to soak them overnight and cook them for about an hour before using them in your recipe. Fresh or canned flavorful tomatoes, sautéed garlic, and fragrant sage create a rich flavor profile that pairs perfectly with white beans. This dish can be served alone or as an accompaniment to roasted chicken, pork, or sausages.

- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sage and sliced garlic. Shake the pan so the garlic doesn't stick, but don't stir it because the garlic might clump.

- Add the tomatoes and salt. Simmer, stirring often, until the tomatoes are shiny and their juices have evaporated; 8-10 minutes.
- Add the pepper, sugar and chicken broth, stirring often, and bring the broth to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, add the beans, simmer (stirring often) until the liquid has evaporated, 18-20 minutes.
- Remove the beans/tomatoes from the heat and stir in the parsley. Season, if needed, with more salt & pepper.

WHITE BEANS WITH TOMATOES, GARLIC, AND SAGE
Steps:
- 1. Bring the beans, onion, carrot, garlic head, 1 teaspoon salt, bay leaves, and 6 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, partially cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are almost tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours, adding more liquid if necessary. Remove the pot from the heat, completely cover, and let stand until the beans are fully tender, 30 to 60 minutes. Drain the beans, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Remove and discard the onion, carrot, and bay leaves. With a slotted spoon, transfer the head of garlic to a cutting board. Using tongs, squeeze the cloves out of the skins and return the softened cloves to the pot with the beans; discard the skins. 2. Heat the olive oil, thinly sliced garlic, and sage in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. As the oil begins to sizzle, shake the pan back and forth so that the garlic does not stick (stirring with a wooden spoon will cause the garlic to clump). Cook until the garlic turns very pale gold and the sage darkens, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomato juices have evaporated and the tomatoes look shiny, about 10 minutes. 3. Stir in the beans and reserved cooking liquid. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated, 18 to 20 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, accompanied by extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling at the table.

Steps:
- To make the beans, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Fill a small saucepan with enough water to cover the garlic. When water boils add garlic and cook one minute. Drain and repeat this procedure three times -- it will eliminate the harshness and leave the flavor. Mash the garlic with garlic press; set aside.
- Lightly oil a roasting pan and place tomatoes in pan. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, turning once, until juice is released and skins have puckered. When tomatoes are ready, peel and add to pot large enough to hold all the ingredients for the beans.
- Add the garlic, sage, stock and beans. Simmer until mixture is thick and most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt if desired and pepper.
- To make the polenta meanwhile, boil water in small pot with the butter, milk and salt.
- When water boils, reduce heat slightly and slowly whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to very low and cook the polenta 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- To serve, spoon polenta into a shallow bowl or plate and spoon bean sauce over top.

- Place beans in a large pot. Cover with water and stir in baking soda. Soak for 8 to 12 hours.

TUSCAN WHITE BEANS WITH SAGE
A hearty, delicious vegetarian meal that gets requested frequently by my meat-eating parents! Good with chunky pasta shapes (rigatoni or the like) or just served as a stew in deep dishes with a good bread. Do not substitute dry sage for fresh - the flavor simply does not translate. The cooking time listed is the absolute minimum. The stew's flavor only improves with long slow cooking, but I often throw the meal together in under half an hour. Makes terrific leftovers hot or cold! Derived loosely from a Moosewood cookbook recipe.

Steps:
- Saute the onion, garlic, and carrots in the olive oil until the onions are translucent. Add in the sage, cook until aromatic.
- Add the can of tomatoes, heat through.
- Add the white beans, return to a simmer, and simmer as long as you like (the longer, the yummier, honestly!).
- Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice.
- This dish holds up well to slight modifications. I have put in a stalk of celery, diced, with the onions and carrots. I have added a little dried rosemary with the white beans. All quite tasty. For omnivores, this dish is delicious with a few shrimp sauteed in butter and garlic served on top.
