Absolutely the best bean recipe. Reliable and delicious. I freeze leftovers so I always have an excellent alternative when a recipe calls for a canned beans.

If you want to try something different, I found a way to take this in an Asian-fusion direction:
-Baby Limas
-Peanut Oil with a little bit of toasted sesame oil
-Garlic like usual
-I usually use salt during the cooking process but may give soy sauce a try as a substitute sometime in the future.
-Once the beans are cooked, whisk in a nice glob of miso paste.
-Toss in shredded Napa cabbage or Bok Choy
-Sprinkle on chopped scallions and drizzle with chili crisp or Sriracha.

Making these beans for about the 15th time. Topping with a couple of grilled lamb chops. I always add fresh rosemary and lots more garlic. The beauty of this recipe is changing to your own tastes and finding a new way to enjoy!

I cannot believe how deliciously perfect these are. I used Rancho Gordo Alubia Blanca beans and cooked them exactly as written. They are so good, I found myself eating a bowl as soon as they were done with a big handful of spinach wilted in the steaming garlicky broth at… 7:30 am!

Did you cook the beans by the bean package instructions or by the recipe? Thanks!

Oh my, these are the best beans ever! I haven’t cooked beans in decades, I just had a hard time sine moving to Calgary, but these are divine. I used Great Northern as I had some and reduced the cooking time by 15 minutes I used them to make soup and will be try this way with all kinds of beans.

This was awesome! I doubled the garlic cloves, well, maybe even added a few more than that. Threw in half an onion. I was surprised at how incredibly tasty this was. Grateful for the recipe. I love it when what comes out of the oven is worthy...I used Rancho Gordo Alubia Blanca beans (and they held up). Soaked for two hours. Oven at 350. Ready in about an hour 45. I did add a cup of water and a lil more salt midway...

I always forget to soak so I just let them cook an additional 30 min! They are SO worth it💕

Not sure this recipe is worth the time. After a 10.5 hour soak, beans took close to 3 hours in the oven with a meh result. I used them the next day, simmered with parmesan rind stock, garlic, herbs and lemon zest. They were really good but might have had similar results using canned beans.

How old were your beans & what was the brand? I use Rancho Gordo beans--they are fresh dried beans requiring little to no soaking.

Help! I love this recipe but I noticed gray spots on my cannellini beans and am wondering if they're safe to use. I rinsed them really well and tossed any with a spot on the outside. After soaking them, some have gray on the inside too. Has anyone seen this before? They are a bit old; from an Organic food store. Grown in the U.S.. AS far as I know they haven't got damp. I have a photo; not sure if I can attach.

I smelled the ones in the bag and they smell musty so I'm chucking them out.

I love this recipe! And I'm not a strayer....I normally follow instructions to the letter. But, I stopped soaking the beans because I keep forgetting to do it. I just add more water and cook in the oven for about 30-45 more in the oven...depending on the kind of beans. I also use dried bay leaves because I never seem to have sage around!

Like most other have mentioned I add greens to mine as well.
If you want to take it in an Asian direction: opt for Lima beans or large butter beans. Work in cilantro stems in lieu of sage and maybe a know of ginger with the garlic. Peanut oil to substitute the EVOO. Add bok choy or Napa cabbage for a green ans garnish with a little scallion and Sriracha.
