Sausage and Beans

1. 1

   Gently warm the beans in a medium saucepan, partially covered.

2. 2

   If you have not already added salt, pepper, and olive oil, do so, to taste.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, slowly grill or panfry the sausage until nicely browned all over, 15 to 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Cut into chunks and bury in the beans.

5. 5

   Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, another 5 minutes or so.

6. 6

   Serve or cover and refrigerate for up to a day before gently reheating.

7. 7

   Even easier: Bury about 1/2 pound dried (Spanish) chorizo (or other good garlicky sausage), cut into chunks, in 4 cups beans, along with a dried chile or hot red pepper flakes to taste.

8. 8

   Heat through, about 10 minutes, then taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve.

9. 9

   Substitute Aromatic White Beans with Chicken Stock and Tomatoes (page 442) for the White Beans with Garlic.
