White Bean with Green Tomatoes and Walnuts

INGREDIENTS

1 cup of dried white beans (cannelloni or navy)
1 large green tomato
1 large white onion
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 tsp sage
Salt and pepper to taste
water as needed

DIRECTIONS

1. Soak beans overnight.
2. Chop onions, saute at medium heat in oil till tender.
3. Drain the beans. Add beans, walnuts, sage, salt, and pepper to the onions.
4. Chop the tomatoes and add to the beans. Cover and cook over slow heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add some water if needed.

COMMENTS: This is a very hearty dish rich in proteins. I have served it over sliced bread as a brochette or as main dish. If in a rush, substitute canned beans for dried.
