Ingredients

• 1/2 to 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 6 garlic cloves, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or thyme or sage)
• 4- 14.5 ounce cans small white beans, rinsed and drained

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, or Dutch Oven, heat 1/2 cup of the oil and sauté the garlic and rosemary for 1 minute.

Add the beans, and simmer the beans for 20 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.

Serve the beans warm, or at room temperature.
