Bean Salad with Tomato & Sage

For your Shopping Cart:

A recipe for Garden Fresh Fagoili using cannelini beans, fresh or canned, (in this case fresh, Borlotti beans) and delicious Italian seasonings such as: garlic, sage and savory extra virgin olive oil.

Ingredients:

First Day:

  • 3/4 pound cannellini beans, fresh shelled beans, or a can
  • 3 tablespoons DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, halved
  • 10 sage leaves
  • 2 cups peeled, seeded and diced tomatoes or 1 (15-ounce) can
  • Salt and pepper

Second Day:

  • 1 (28-ounce) can DeLallo San Marzano or Roma tomatoes
  • 3 sage leaves
  • Chopped vegetables of your choice (optional)

Directions:

First Day:
Soak, drain and boil the cannellini until tender, about two hours. If using fresh shelled beans, it will take a little less time. If using canned, it will take no time at all!

Heat the olive oil over a medium flame, add the garlic, sage and beans. Sauté for two minutes, then add tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 20 minutes.

   
Second Day:
Return the leftover Little Birds to the pot and add the canned tomatoes, a few more sage leaves and optional chopped vegetables. Bring to a boil and simmer about 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, and crush the tomatoes with a potato masher. Simmer 10 minutes more. Serve over pasta, rice or polenta.
