THREE CHEERS for ridiculously easy but AWESOME recipes like my easy white beans. Stock, sage and good olive oil are all you need to take the humble white bean, cannelini or navy, you pick, to a truly wholesome, flavorful, satisfying thing.

This is my absolute favorite way to make white beans as a small, light side. Just drain canned beans, simmer in stock (veggie or chicken) with fresh sage and garlic, then drain, toss in a great olive oil, season, and enjoy. It is amazing how such a simple thing, such a simple canned good, can become so special and soulful.

I have made these easy beans with big, fat cannelini beans and smaller pearls of navy beans, and both work just as well. I think I prefer the cannelini beans though because given their size, they are just a bit more fulfilling. But either do work, use what you’ve got, and enjoy yourself a super simple side.

So that’s it folks. A simple pantry staple married with fresh herb and garlic for a perfect accompaniment for your family dinner.
