Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup white kidney beans(cannellini) -- soaked and drained

3 1/2 cups (3 1/2 to 4) water

1 small yellow onion -- chopped coarse

2 whole cloves garlic

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon sage

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons parsley or basil -- minced

1 tablespoon (1-2) olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

In a medium saucepan, place the beans, water, onion, garlic, thyme, sage, and

pepper and cook for about 1 hour over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until

the beans are tender. Remove the garlic from the pot; discard or give to a

garlic lover. Drain any excess liquid from the beans.

 

Transfer the beans to a serving bowl and fold in the parsley, oil, and salt. Set

aside for 15 minutes to let the flavors intermingle. Serve as a side dish or add

to soups or stews.
