Rustic Tomato Bean Stew
Tuscan cuisine is the steward of a vast array of plant-based dishes, and beans are a particularly treasured ingredient. These simple stewed beans are filling, flavourful and healthy, making them the perfect complement to richer dishes. I experienced my first bowl of fagioli all'uccelletto in Florence after wandering the streets on a cold December day. It was the comfort food I craved. You can cook dried beans from scratch or use high-quality canned cannellini beans. ~ Nadia Fragnito. Recipe from Nadia's cookbook Natale: Recipes for a Vegan Italian Christmas.
