Christmas Bean/Fajioli Del Papa And Vegetable Sauté

• 2 cups beans cooked Christmas, about 1 cup uncooked beans
• 3 shallots thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
• 1 zucchini large, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper seeded and sliced
• 2 San Marzano tomatoes cut into sections lengthwise
• 1/4 cup italian parsely chopped
• salt
• pepper

1. The night before rinse the beans, and transfer them to a bowl filled with water. Allow to soak at least 8 hours.
2. Rinse the beans and put them in a pot with water at room temperature, enough to cover the beans, plus another 2".
3. Bring to boil, lower the heat and continue to cook for 11/2 to 2 hours or until tender.
4. Be sure not to salt the water as this will slow the cooking process. Drain and rinse the beans. T
5. In a saute pan heat 3-4 tablespoon extra virgin oil, and add the shallots and garlic.
6. Saute for 2-3 minutes; add the zucchini and peppers, continue cooking another minute.
7. Add the cooked beans and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Toss in the tomatoes, and allow to soften slightly, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and toss in the chopped parsely.
9. Plate and garnish with extra fresh parsley and drizzle with some extra virgin oil and balsamic reduction.
