Tuscan White Beans Recipe


Tuscan White Beans Recipe
This is so simple but so good. It is a dish you find in the Tuscany region of Italy. Use as a side dish or eat with a salad and some really good crusty bread. Use dry beans not canned you can really tell the difference.

Sounds very good - 5 forks to you!


I don't remember the sage but oh, the white beans in Italy! Heaven. You are completely correct to advise to only use the dried beans when preparing this. The white beans quickly became my favorite appetizer in Italy.
