I grew up eating these all the time as a child. I remember coming home after school and the intoxicating aroma hitting me as soon as I walked thru the door. I was afraid mine would never be as good as my mom's but last night I was so pleased with my version (and my dinner guests loved it too! Read more ) See less

How to make it
- Day 1:
- in a large dutch oven over medium heat, saute onion in oil until soft. Add the garlic, tomatoes paste and spices. Saute until tomato paste gets a bit darker and more concentrated. Add the sliced sausage and saute a few minutes more, allowing a little of the fat to render. Deglaze with the wine and bring to a boil. Add the beans and chicken broth (or packet). Turn off heat and allow to cool before placing in fridge overnight.
- Day 2:
- Slowly heat up beans until the start to bubble. SImmer, covered for 4 hours then uncovered for about another 4 hours (keep an eye out that they don't get too dry - you want them reduced but with some liquid still).
- Spoon into serving bowls or serve family style with with french bread to sop up :-)
