Method |
Put beans
and 8 cups cold water into a medium pot and bring to a boil
over medium-high heat. Turn off heat and let beans soak for
20-30 minutes. |
Add
pancetta, onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, garlic,
rosemary, and bay leaf to pot of beans and soaking water and
bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to
medium-low and simmer until beans are tender, 2-2 ½ hours.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Discard bay leaf. |
Preheat a
charcoal grill. Grill sausages over medium-hot coals until
lightly browned, 8-12 minutes. Using a sharp knife, split
sausages lengthwise so that they open like a book, then
grill for a few minutes more on each side. |
Divide
beans and some of the cooking liquid between 4 plates and
put 2 sausages on top of each. |
Remove
from oven, let cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving
and pass extra sauce on the side. Serves 6. |
