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..

What to you mean prepare your beans????
Gamze M. October 30, 2017
Hi Maria,
We always buy barlotti beans fresh ( in pods) You have to shell the beans, wash and then use them..
