Tuscan Style Beans (Cannellini all'Uccelletto)

This classic Tuscan staple relies on the aromatic marriage of earthy sage and fruity olive oil to elevate the humble white bean. By simmering the cannellini directly in a rich tomato base, the pulses absorb the savoury notes of garlic and chilli, resulting in a glossy, comforting dish that is far superior to any tinned alternative. It is traditionally served on thick slices of charred rustic bread to catch every drop of the fragrant sauce.
