Preparation

Step 1

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: Place soaked beans in slow cooker. Cover with water so that you have at least an
inch of water above the beans. Add garlic and sage. Cover and cook on low heat setting for about 7 hours. About
30 minutes before you are ready to serve, add salt - don't add it earlier or your beans will be tough. Ladle beans
into bowls and drizzle with olive oil.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with some cornbread, a big spinach salad (I like thinly sliced red onion, pecans, apples and blue cheese crumbles with a vinaigrette dressing, all tossed together). You might want a bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce for the beans, too.
