Best Tuscan Bean Salad With Sage Recipes
TUSCAN BEAN SALAD WITH SAGE
This bean salad is by far one of the best I've ever had (and I eat a lot of them)! This recipe comes from A Taste of Italy (1996) from The American Cooking Guild. Here is the book's description: "Cannellini (white kidney) beans provide the mild background flavor for the crunchy, tangy, zesty ingredients in this dish. Serve this rustic salad with grilled meats or sausages. For a satisfying single-course meal, mix in a jar of imported drained tuna. Serve in a soup plate with crusty Italian bread. Do not add salt until beans are half cooked, or they will become tough." Prep time is for canned beans.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Serve at room temperature.
- DRY BEANS DIRECTIONS: May use 1-1/4 cups dried cannellini beans or 1/2 pound great northern beans, soaked overnight.
- Drain soaked beans.
- Place beans and onion in a medium pot; cover with 2 quarts of water. Simmer 30 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper.
- Cook 30 minutes more or until tender but not mushy.
- Drain. Place in a large bowl and cool.
- When cool, stir in the remaining ingredients.
- Serve at room temperature.
- TIP: For those who don't like celery, use a vegetable peeler to remove the stringy bits on the back of the stalk. This makes the flavor milder and the texture more palatable.

TUSCAN WHITE BEANS WITH SAGE
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.

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.

TUSCAN BEANS WITH SAGE
This is good! Serve it with brown rice or toss it with pasta. Don't go too overboard on the lemon juice, but use lots of black pepper.
