Baked Beans with Cheese: Fagioli col Formaggio, in Forno: Who could ask for more than this tasty, simple Tuscan recipe in the cooler months?
Prep Time: 12 hours, 30 minutes
Cook Time: 90 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (500 g) cannelloni beans, soaked and boiled only until they're fairly firm, salting the water
- mid-way through the cooking.
- 3 peppercorns, finely ground
- A minced mixture of fresh basil, thyme, marjoram, and mint -- I'd figure a between 2 and 4 tablespoons
- A finely sliced onion
- Finely sliced pecorino Toscano (if you cannot find this, use very mild romano)
- Olive oil
- Toasted slices of Tuscan bread
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 360 F (180 C)
Drain the beans, transfer them to an oven-proof dish, dust them with the pepper and herbs, lay the onion and cheese over them, drizzle well with oil, and heat through until the cheese just begins to brown.
Serve the beans over slices of toasted bread.
