Servings: persons

2 cups dried cannellini beans, sorted and soaked overnight (about 12 oz.or use great northern beans)
6 cups water
1 bay leaf
2 fresh thyme sprigs (or winter savory sprigs)
10 fresh sage leaves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 tablespoon Italian parsley, chopped

1
Drain the soaked beans and rinse them well. Pour into a large saucepan with the water, bay leaves, savory, and 2 of the sage leaves.
2
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 35-40 minutes. Watch closely during the last 5-10 minutes to make sure the skins have softened and the beans have opened but still hold their shape. Remove the herbs and bay leaves. Leave the beans in their broth.
3
While the beans are cooking, chope the remaining sage leaves. Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the onion, 1/2 tsp salt, and a few grinds of pepper.
4
Saute over medium heat until the onion begins to release it's juices. Add the garlic and sage; saute for about 10 minutes, then add the wine and cook for a mintue or two, until the pan is nearly dry.
5
Add the beans and their broth to the onions along with 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few more grinds of pepper.
6
Lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes, adding a little water if needed to keep the beans saucy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the parsley just before serving.
7
Enjoy!
