European Soldier Beans With Gorgonzola And Fresh Sage Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 9 ounce Dry European soldier beans
- 6 ounce Mild Gorgonzola cheese
- 1/2 c. Chopped fresh sage (you may substitute fresh rosemary, but not dry sage)
- 1/2 c. Extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- The first step in cooking most dry legumes is soaking them. The traditional method of soaking beans calls for a soak of 6 to 12 hrs.
- After picking the beans over and washing them, you should cover them with tepid water till they're submerged far under the surface of the water.
- Change the water a few times, especially if your kitchen is hot.
- There is a shorter way to soak your beans, if you want to be more spontaneous. Pick over and wash the beans, then cover them entirely with warm water in a large saucepan. Boil the beans for 2 min, then cover with a lid, remove pot from heat, and let soak for an hour.
- When ready to cook, rinse the beans (soaked either way) in tepid water.
- Cover the beans by 2 inches with unsalted cool water in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to boil, reduce heat, and cover partially. Cook for 60 to 90 min, or possibly till beans are soft. The beans should be covered by water at all times; you will probably have to add in more water to the beans to keep them completely immersed. Keep a kettle of water at a simmer for this purpose
- When the beans are done, drain them and put them in a mixing bowl. Add in the remaining ingredients and stir well so which the cheese melts in and the sage is well dispersed. Season well with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
