Servings: 0

Ingredients

  • 4 cups shelled borlotti beans also known as cranberry beans
  • 3 plum tomatoes or you can use canned tomatoes
  • 4 large garlic cloves
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups water for cooking the beans
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • Kosher or sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Splash of sherry vinegar

Instructions

  • Combine the beans, tomatoes, garlic and olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot. Add enough cold water to cover the beans by 1 inch. Add the rosemary stalk. Bring the beans to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer partially covered. Add water as needed, to keep the beans submerged.

Let them cool in the cooking liquid and then cover and refrigerate the beans in the pot. Serve the beans with a garnish of fresh chopped rosemary.
