• 1 red pepper
• 9 garlic cloves
• 1/4 C olive oil
• 4 (19 oz.) cans cannellini beans
• 1/2 C white wine
• 1 t dried Italian seasoning
• 1 t salt
• 1/2 t pepper
• 8 basil leaves (rinsed)

Drain and rinse beans; cut pepper into thin slices; crush garlic.  Preheat a large  pan on medium 2-3 minutes.  Place oil in pan; swirl to coat.  Add peppers, garlic, and remaining ingredients (except basil); cook till beans are thoroughly heated (4-5 minutes), stirring occasionally.  While beans cook, stack basil leaves and roll tightly; slice thinly into fine ribbons.  Stir in basil; cook 1-2 minutes more or until fragrant.  Serve alongside Tuscan-Style Chicken and brown rice.  Can also be chilled and served as a cold salad.
