Caldo Verde

Category: , ,

1/2 cup dried cannellini beans
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 large potato, diced
2 large fresh sage leaves, shredded
about 2 1/2 cups shredded Savoy cabbage (I didn't find any so used regular cabbage)
2 cups vegetable stock
salt and pepper

1. Soak the beans overnight in cold water.

2. Drain the beans and then put in a large pan with 5 cups cold water. Bring to a boil and boil rapidly for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat and simmer for 40 minutes, or until the beans are tender.

3. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 5 minutes until soft. Stir in the potato and sage, and saute for 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.

4. Stir the onion mixture into the beans, together with the cabbage and stock. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste. Serve with crusty bread.
