Ingredients
For the beans:
8 ounces white beans
2 tomatoes, peeled
1 sprig sage
1 sprig rosemary
1 garlic clove
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch chili powder
Salt
For the mushrooms:
8 porcini mushroom caps
4 cloves garlic
1 sprig 'nipitella' (this can be substituted with oregano or marjoram)
Salt and pepper
4 large tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. (160 degrees C.).
- Place the beans in a large saucepan with plenty of water and allow to simmer for 2 hours along with the peeled tomatoes, sage, rosemary, garlic, pepper and chili powder. Add salt once the beans are cooked.
- Gently wash the mushroom caps with running water, protecting them with your hands so as to prevent them absorbing too much of the water.
- Place the mushrooms on a sheet of aluminum foil on a baking tray. Slice the garlic and gently insert each piece into the mushroom caps. Sprinkle the chopped nipitella over the mushrooms and add salt, pepper and a generous dash of olive oil.
- Wrap the mushrooms in the aluminum foil, carefully ensuring all the edges are sealed and place on a baking tray in a shallow bath of water. This is now ready to be cooked 'bain marie' style for 20 minutes.
- Once the mushrooms are cooked, assemble them onto a plate with two large tablespoons of the cooked beans and some small shavings of crusty bread. Drizzle with olive oil and serve the dish piping hot.
