Florentine Beans with Tuna and Focaccia


Sunday August 17
At yesterday's farmers' market, we bought a beautiful basket of cranberry beans, otherwise known as borlotti, and called roma beans in this neck of the escarpment. We took Saturday to prepare them the same way we did before, in the Italian fashion. The only change was adding chopped fresh rosemary on the second day, when we brought the beans to room temperature and added the tuna and salt.

We served them out on the patio, with Holt's homemade onion and olive focaccia instead of grilled vegetables, and a bottle of Ruffino Orvieto Classico 2007, for that taste of Tuscany among the Canadian maples.
