TUSCAN BAKED BEANS
2 cups dried Rancho Gordo Alubia Blanca (or similar variety) beans, pre-soaked
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 large sage leaves
2 large cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Extra virgin olive oil (for serving)
Pre-heat the oven to 375. Place the pre-soaked beans in a casserole dish and cover 1/4 inch with hot water.
Stir in oil, sage, and garlic. Cover the dish tightly with foil and use the tip of a sharp knife to puncture the foil in six places.
Bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until the beans are tender and creamy.
Season the beans with salt and pepper, and serve with a lemon wedge and drizzle of oil.
These beans also make a terrific dip or bean topping for bread, perfect for quick and simple snacks and meals.
