Kidney Beans In Tomato Sauce

Directions

1. Drain & rinse the kidney beans well. Cook the beans in a saucepan or possibly in a stew pot with sufficient water to cover them for about 30 min or possibly till they are soft. Drain them & keep them aside(reserve). Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan & fry the garlic and onion until lightly browned. Add in the tomatoes, the rosemary, the parsley & pepper to taste. Reduce the sauce until it thickens. Add in the reserved beans & salt to taste & cook 15 min more.
2. This can be used as a main dish accompanied by pita bread and a salad. To serve the cooked beans, put then in the center of a large serving plate, surrounded by triangles of pita bread & sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top.
