Game Day Redzone Beans

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and pancetta. Cook 1-2 minutes or until fat is rendered from the pork.

Turn the heat up to medium-high and add diced onion, minced garlic, chopped sage, sea salt and black pepper. Sauté 5-6 minutes or until the onions are soft, translucent and beginning to turn golden brown.

Add in chicken stock and tomato paste. Stir thoroughly to combine.

Reduce heat to medium and add in cannellini beans. Stir to combine. With a potato masher, mash 1/4 of the bean mixture into a paste. Make sure not to mash all of the beans; it’s important to leave most whole for best appearance and texture. Let cook 4-5 minutes to thicken and warm through.

Add in apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine. Let cook 1-2 minutes more. Taste dish and add more salt and/or pepper if necessary. Serve immediately.
