Fagioli Alluccelietto Con Salsico White Beans In Herbed Tomato Sauce With Sausages Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan soak beans in enough cold water to cover by 2 inches at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Drain beans in a colander and return to saucepan with cold water to cover by 2 inches. Simmer beans, covered, until tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Reserve 1 cup cooking liquid and drain beans in colander.
• In a heavy kettle cook garlic in oil over moderate heat, stirring until softened. Add reserved cooking liquid, beans, tomatoes with juice, sage, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer mixture, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Place the dried beans in a large saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the beans are tender, skimming off the scum as needed.
• Drain the beans and reserve the cooking liquid.
• Heat 1/3 cup of the oil in a flameproof casserole or heavy-based saucepan.
• Add the sausages and cook over medium heat until brown on all sides.
• Add the tomatoes, garlic, sage, salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to mix.
• Bring to a boil, then add the beans and a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid.
• Cover and simmer, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes- the consistency should be quite thick.
• Adjust the seasoning to taste.
• Just before serving, drizzle the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil over the dish and garnish with sage leaves.
• My notes: I substituted Coco Blanc fresh shell beans for the Cannellini; It took only~25 minutes for the beans I used to become tender; I merely chopped and drained the tomatoes; I used Hot Italian sausage; I added red pepper flakes; And I used 4 cloves garlic.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat and fry sausages until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes per side. Add 1/2 cup water, remaining oil, garlic, chopped tomatoes, and red pepper flakes. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add beans and tomato puree, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Continue to simmer, occasionally stirring gently, taking care not to break up beans, until sausage is cooked and sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes.
