Hi T.Hasu! This sounds really good but are there a few steps missing?

Tcakes March 11, 2013

I don't think so. Have you tried making it?

Tcakes March 11, 2013

Oops, after reading the directions it seems that two of the steps were dropped. Will be editing.

I see that you have garlic, onions and wine...where do those ingredients go? And you say to drain the beans but what do you simmer them in? And when do you add the black olives? I'm assuming you saute the garlic and onions in some of the oil, add the wine, beans and olives and let simmer for some period of time.
