A cheap staple at my house!

First time posting but had to share, this is a staple in my household!
I am Italian and I grew up on “fagioli all’uccelletto”. I’ll share the recipe cause I eat this weekly and it’s a tasty and cheap meat alternative lunch/dinner

1- Dry beans (pinto are recommended but I did it with all kinds, the result is very similar)
2- Canned tomato chunks/sauce (whatever is cheaper/have at home)
3- Steak herbs!!! (Sage, thyme, oregano, rosemary, whatever you have at home, fresh or dry) plus some garlic (better fresh but whatever you have at home will do)

Soak the beans for a day (change water when it gets too dark/murky), after that boil them for 40/45 minutes. On the side cook down the tomato sauce with some oil, garlic and the herbs. Once the beans are ready, strain them and add them to the sauce, cook it all together for 10/15 minutes adding some salt and pepper.
I eat it by itself with a piece of buttered toast or with some oil!

Hope this helps, have a good day 🤍
