Ingredients
  • white beans (cannellini or navy), drained and rinsed
  • yellow onion, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • sage leaves
  • garlic, finely chopped
  • dry white wine
  • bay leaf
  • fresh winter savory or thyme
  • salt, plus more to taste
  • black pepper, freshly ground
  • fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
  1. 1
    Place the white beans in a saucepan with the bay leaf, winter savory (or thyme) sprigs, and 2 of the sage leaves.
  2. 2
    Add a splash of water or vegetable broth to the saucepan and warm gently over low heat for 10-15 minutes to infuse the beans with herb flavors.
  3. 3
    Remove and discard the bay leaf, herb sprigs, and whole sage leaves. Set the beans and their liquid aside.
  4. 4
    While the beans warm, finely chop the remaining 8 sage leaves.
  5. 5
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few pinches of pepper.
  6. 6
    Sauté the onions with a small splash of water until they begin to release their juices and soften, about 5 minutes.
  7. 7
    Add the chopped garlic and chopped sage to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  8. 8
    Pour in the dry white wine and cook for 1-2 minutes until the pan is nearly dry and the wine has reduced slightly.
  9. 9
    Add the warmed beans along with their herb-infused broth to the skillet.
  10. 10
    Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few more pinches of black pepper.
  11. 11
    Lower the heat to low and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little water if the mixture becomes too dry.
  12. 12
    Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  13. 13
    Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley just before serving.
