Fagioli All'Uccelletto

This recipe combines white beans, prosciutto, tomatoes, onion, mushrooms, and spices. In keeping with the spirit of this cookbook, I used most of the tail-ends of my home-grown yellow, orange, and red tomatoes. I had to cook the beans with my pressure cooker (I live above 5,000 feet, meaning my water boils at a cooler temperature, and most beans need a lot of help to cook).

The recipe called for an end of prosciutto. I used 3 slices, and cooked it in a bit of water. This gave me a liquid to substitute for the bean liquid, which I had discarded yesterday.

This tasted really amazing. We ate it with some whole grain bread.
