TUSCAN WHITE BEANS WITH SAGE



Tuscan White Beans With Sage image

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.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced or 2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup carrot, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh sage, minced
28 ounces petite diced tomatoes (undrained)
2 (15 7/8 ounce) cans white beans (cannellini or great northern)
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

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.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 11h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound large dried white beans, such as corona beans
3 bay leaves
3 garlic cloves
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 pound thinly sliced pancetta
6 fresh sage leaves

Steps:

  • Put the dried beans in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak the beans overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Drain the soaked beans, place them in a large pot and cover with fresh cold water. Put the beans over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Toss in the bay leaves and garlic. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 11/2 hours until tender. Drain the cooked beans and spread them out on a sheet pan to cool slightly.
  • Put about 1/2 cup of flour in a shallow platter and season it with salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. Toss the beans in the seasoned flour to coat completely.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is hot, add the pancetta, fry for a couple of minutes to crisp it up. Toss in the sage leaves and fry for about 1 minute. Remove the pancetta and sage to some paper towels; now you have a flavor base. Shake off excess flour from the beans and put them in the pan in a single layer. Fry the beans for a good 10 minutes to form a golden crust on the outside of the beans, tossing to cook both sides.
  • Return the pancetta and fried sage to the pan, stir everything together, and serve.

BAKED WHITE BEANS AND SAUSAGE WITH SAGE



Baked White Beans and Sausage With Sage image

This incredibly easy one-pan dinner is from the cookbook "The Silver Spoon for Children," with more than 40 traditional recipes adapted from "The Silver Spoon," a book that appears in many home kitchens in Italy. Older children with some experience can follow this recipe as is, but if you've got little ones who want to help, they can stir the sage, beans and apple juice together in a large bowl while the sausages bake, then you can pour the mixture into the hot pan. If you like your beans on the saucy side, add 1/4 cup more apple juice. Serve with buttered crusty rolls and something leafy and green.

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, beans, casseroles, sausages, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 sweet Italian pork sausages (about 1 pound)
2 whole garlic cloves (do not peel)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 fresh sage leaves
2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, prick the sausages all over with a fork. Add the garlic, drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat. Bake until the sausages start to brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Put on your oven mitts, take the roasting pan out of the oven and set it on a heatproof surface. Using tongs, carefully turn the sausages over. (The sausages will brown on the other side when they go back into the oven.)
  • Tear the sage leaves into little pieces and add them to the sausages along with the drained beans and apple juice. Give the bean mixture a stir.
  • Wearing your oven mitts, put the roasting pan back in the oven and bake until the bean mixture is warmed, about 20 minutes.
  • Put on your oven mitts one last time to remove the roasting pan from the oven. To serve, carefully stir everything together using a wooden spoon, and add a little salt and pepper to taste.

WHITE BEANS WITH SAGE AND TOMATOES



White Beans With Sage and Tomatoes image

This is a whizz-bang recipe that tastes better than the sum of its ingredients. The leftovers taste even better, I think. I often puree the leftovers and add chicken broth for instant bean soup. This recipe is adapted from one that appeared in Gourmet so long ago that the balsamic vinegar features a note: "balsamic vinegar available in specialty foods shops."

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dishes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to cooking with sage and beans. Try different combinations of ingredients and flavors to see what you like best.
  • Use sage sparingly. A little sage goes a long way. Too much sage can overwhelm the other flavors in your dish.
  • Cook beans properly. Beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve dishes immediately. Most dishes with sage and beans are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the flavors are at their peak.

Conclusion:

With its earthy, slightly peppery flavor, sage is a versatile herb that pairs well with a variety of beans. Whether you're looking for a hearty soup, a flavorful salad, or a comforting casserole, there's a recipe with sage and beans that's sure to please. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook with beans, give sage a try. You won't be disappointed.
