Three cups cooked beans and 28 oz tomato sauce makes a very tomato-heavy dish. I added another can of beans (14 oz). Wondering if the beans were supposed to be 3 cups dried?
I followed the recipe exactly, as I usually do the first time, and was glad I did. I soaked and cooked the cranberry beans a day ahead and prepped everything else ahead, making it easy with the 10 minute cooking segments. I was surprised at the delicious crunch the parsley-celery leaf salad added to the stew. (I was skeptical.) I gave this 4 stars because sage is not my favorite herb - I'm more of a thyme/basil fan. But this stew hit the spot on a cool fall night. I'd make it again.
