Cannellini Beans with Garlic and Sage

Simple and tasty! The recipe suggests discarding the garlic but don't do it! It is wonderful spread onto toast or incorporated back into the final dish (Sausages with White Beans in Tomato Sauce). These beans are great on their own or as a starting point for other dishes. I used freshly dried beans from my garden and the cooking time was half of that suggested - so keep an eye on them depending on how fresh your beans are.
