White beans in Olive Oil
At gatherings there is ALWAYS at least one vegetarian dish. For my family this dish as passed down to me by my mom, this is a regular. Very healthy, and very tasty. It is advised that you make it with a pressure cooker to cut down cooking time. If you don't have one, a regular pot would do.
