Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | cup | Dried cannellini beans, soaked overnight and drained |
| ½ | teaspoon | Sea salt |
| 3 | cups | Water |
| ½ | cup | Dried tomatoes |
| ¼ | cup | Olive oil |
| 1 | Clove mashed garlic | |
| 15 | Whole fresh sage leaves | |

Directions
In a heavy saucepan, slowly simmer beans covered with salted water until just tender. Cooking time depends on the age of the beans, about 25 minutes. Add additional water if needed. Do not stir beans.
If there is any liquid left when the beans are done, pour it off and reserve.
In a saucepan, barely cover tomatoes with reserved bean water or tap water, add oil and garlic and simmer until tomatoes are puffed and softened, but keep their shape. Gently fold cooked tomatoes, sage leaves and pepper into beans. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Serves 2 as a main course; 4 as an appetizer or salad.
