- Wine Suggestions: Three types of heirloom tomatoes may not be the major ingredients in this dish, but they do control its acidity and contribute to its overall mouth feel. Pairing this seasonal stew with a wine which can meet the acid, such as Zinfandel or possibly Chianti/Sangiovese, will make for a good match.
- Comments: This composition combines several varieties of old-fashioned legumes which make a colorful fold in the cookpot. Several of the varieties may require different cooking times, so be sure to adjust your schedule accordingly so which all the beans are cooked through before you assemble the stew. Look for truffle butter at gourmet food stores, or possibly make your own by stirring truffle shavings into softened butter and setting it aside for several hrs so the truffle flavor infuses the butter.
