TUSCAN WHITE BEANS WITH OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• Sort the beans to make sure they are free of stones or other debris. Rinse, then cover with cold water, refrigerate, and soak overnight. The next day, drain the beans, place them in a large pot, and cover with the stock. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer the beans for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until they are tender. Add 1 teaspoon of salt in the final 15 minutes of cooking. The addition of salt earlier in the cooking process will result in tough beans.
• Remove the beans with a slotted spoon and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add all the remaining seasoning and other ingredients to the warm beans in the bowl and toss together. Adjust the salt and add freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve warm or chilled.

CRANBERRY BEANS IN OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• Wash and pick over the beans. Place in a pot, cover generously with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, covered, until the beans are done in the center but not too soft, about 1 hour. Drain and rinse in a colander.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and saute until onions are soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute another minute to release the aromas. Stir in the beans, and saute until beans are heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley, adjust the seasonings, and remove from the heat.
• Transfer beans to a large serving bowl, drizzle with additional olive oil and serve with lemon wedges. Serve warm or room temperature.

WHITE BEANS WITH SAGE AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• Place beans in large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover by 3 inches and let soak overnight.
• Drain beans and return to pan. Add 6 cups cold water, 1/4 cup oil, chopped sage and garlic. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover partially; simmer until beans are just tender, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Cover and keep chilled. Rewarm before continuing.)
• Using slotted spoon, transfer beans to bowl. Top with more oil.
