Fagioli al Fiasco

Fagioli al fiasco means "Beans in a flask". Tuscan farmers in the past were used to cook beans with this method. They would place a glass jar in a corner of the fireplace on hot ashy embers before going to bed and would have freshly cooked beans the next morning.

Ingredients: cannellini beans, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, ge leaves, salt and pepper

Directions:
Soak the beans the night before. Place the beans, oil, garlic, and sage into a bottle and cover with water until the bottle is 3/4 full. The bottle should be closed with a wadded cotten ball in order to allow some of the steam to filter out. Cook. When the beans are ready, discard the garlic and sage leaves. Add some fresh olive oil, salt and some freshly ground pepper.
