Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (22 1/2 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, lightly crushed and peeled
1 tablespoon fresh sage leaf
1 1/4 cups canned whole peeled tomatoes, coarsely chopped (with their juice)
salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 lb sweet Italian sausage link, thickly sliced

Steps:

  • Put the olive oil and garlic in a heavy saucepan that will hold the sausage in a single layer.
  • Place it over medium-high heat and saute the garlic cloves until lightly browned on all sides.
  • While garlic is browning, coarsely chop the fresh sage.
  • When the garlic has browned, discard it.
  • Add the sage to the pan and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and beans.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the sausage.
  • When tomatoes begin to bubble, turn the heat down to medium-low.
  • Cover the pan and cook at a gentle simmer until the sausages feel tender when pricked with a fork, about 20 minutes.
  • Check the pan occasionally and add a little water if all the liquid evaporates before the sausages are done.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices to create the best flavor. Opt for high-quality Italian sausage and baked beans for a richer taste.
  • Brown the sausage before adding it to the beans: This step adds depth of flavor and prevents the sausage from becoming dry.
  • Simmer the beans for at least 30 minutes: This allows the flavors to meld and the beans to become tender.
  • Add a touch of sweetness: A small amount of brown sugar or maple syrup can help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes and vinegar.
  • Serve the beans with your favorite sides: Baked beans are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as cornbread, mashed potatoes, or coleslaw.
