Steps:
- Rinse beans and soak them in plenty of cold water for 8 hours or overnight.
- Drain and place the beans in a 4-quart saucepan with fresh cold water, covering them by an inch or more, along with the 4 bay leaves and 2 tablespoons oil.
- Bring to a boil, partially cover the pot, and adjust the heat to maintain a bubbling simmer.
- When the beans are almost tender, but still slightly undercooked, after about 40 minutes, remove from the heat; drain through a colander.
- Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon salt and let cool; discard the bay leaves.
- Add 4 tablespoons olive oil into the wide saucepan, scatter the bacon pieces into it, and set over med-high heat.
- Cook, stirring, until the bacon starts rendering fat, then drop in the sausages; let them sizzle and begin to brown.
- Add the chopped onion and the two bay leaves, and stir them around the pan bottom; meanwhile, keep rolling over the sausages so they color on all sides.
- Cook for several minutes to allow the onion and meat to caramelize, then clear a space on the pan bottom and drop in the tomato paste.
- Stir it in the clear spot for a minute, until sizzling, then spread the paste all around the pan, stirring and tumbling the sausages so they are coated.
- Pour the red wine vinegar into a clear space in the pan, let it sizzle and evaporate for a few minutes, then stir and tumble everything again.
- Pour 1 cup of hot water into the saucepan, increase the heat, and deglaze the caramelization as the water bubbles.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir well.
- Rinse the tomato containers with a second cup of water, and pour that in too.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, stir everything together, and bring to a boil.
- Keep the tomato sauce bubbling gently for about 10 minutes, then spill the beans into the pan; stir in the beans while the sauce returns to a boil.
- Stir in the water, if needed, so the sauce is loose and nearly covers the sausages and beans.
- Cook at a gentle boil, stirring now and then, until the beans are tender and the sauce has nicely thickened, 10 minutes or more (add water if the beans need longer cooking; or, if the sauce seems too loose, reduce it quickly over high heat).
- Turn off the heat, and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.
- Cover the pan to keep the beans warm until the polenta is ready to serve.
- Assemble individual portions in warm wide pasta bowls; first dip a large spoon in water, and with it scoop up polenta and mound it in each bowl.
- Spoon over a generous helping of beans in sauce, and lay a sausage on top.
- Drizzle with olive oil, grind on more black pepper, and serve immediately.

POLENTA OR GRITS WITH BEANS AND CHARD
Anson Mills creamy polenta or grits is very inviting for a savory, brothy bean stew with lots of greens stirred in at the end of cooking. I like to use a reddish bean for this - I have used a number of heirloom varieties from Rancho Gordo, but also regular supermarket pintos and red beans. The recipe makes twice as much bean stew as you will need for 4 portions of polenta or grits. So make the polenta (or grits) again the next day and polish them off!

Steps:
- Chop 1/2 of the onion and set aside. To cook dried beans, transfer with their soaking water to a heavy pot. If beans are not covered by 1 1/2 to 2 inches of water, add more water as necessary. Over medium-high heat, bring to a gentle boil and skim away foam. Add unchopped halved onion, crushed garlic cloves and bouquet garni, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 1 hour. Using tongs, removed halved onion and whole garlic cloves.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet and add chopped onion and carrot. Cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes, and add chard stems, garlic and pepper flakes. Continue to cook for another couple of minutes, until onion and chard stems are soft. Stir vegetable mixture into beans. Add tomato paste and salt to taste (I use at least 1 1/2 teaspoons), cover and continue to simmer very gently for 1 hour or until beans are tender all the way through and their texture is plush and velvety. Remove and discard bouquet garni.
- Add chard greens (depending on the size of your pot you may have to add a portion at a time, cover for a minute until the first portion wilts, then add the next portion and so on until all of the greens have been added) and continue to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until greens are tender but still have some color and life in them. Taste bean broth; it should taste rich, delicious, a little spicy. Add salt as necessary. Keep warm.
- Meanwhile, toward the end of the cooking time for the beans, cook polenta; or wait until beans are done and start polenta or grits. When done, spoon into wide soup bowls and press down in the middle with the back of a spoon. Spoon beans and greens with broth over polenta or grits. Top with a little Parmesan or feta and serve.
