What sugar? It's in the steps of prep but not in the ingredient list

Sugar is not a must but since we use tomato paste (canned usually) we add a teaspoon of sugar to break down the acidity of the tomato paste in all olive oil dishes that has paste in it..

Hi Maria,
We always buy barlotti beans fresh ( in pods) You have to shell the beans, wash and then use them..
