Beans in a flask is a traditional side dish from Tuscan cuisine, characterized by slow cooking in a wine flask, which gives it a unique and intense flavor. The recipe dates back to ancient times and is still highly appreciated for its rustic and genuine taste. Cannellini beans are cooked together with fruity oil, garlic, sage, and water, then served seasoned with salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
A lit fireplace with hot embers and ash is essential
In an uncoated flask, introduce beans, garlic, sage, and water
Seal it with tow (which allows evaporation) and place it inclined on the hot ash at the edge of the fire
Keep it balanced by securing it with a wet string to a pot hook
Ensure the ash around the flask remains hot and, if necessary, revive it, allowing it to cook for about 4 hours
Serve them with salt, a grind of black pepper, and raw oil
