1 Place soaked beans in a pan with enough cold water to cover beans by 2.5cm. Add sage and garlic. Cover pan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until beans are soft but still holding their shape.
2 Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a non-stick pan. Add onion and cook until softened. Add tomatoes, paste, herbs, stock and 1/4 cup water. Cook for 10—15 minutes to make a thick tomato sauce. Set to one side until beans are cooked.
4 Once beans are cooked, drain. Return to pan with tomato sauce. Stir in remaining oil, sugar and vinegar. Heat, stirring occasionally, for 10—15 minutes.
5 Taste and season with pepper and a little salt, or add a different flavour (see variations). Serve on top of grainy toast.
Try beans on top of baked potatoes instead of toast.
Make it gluten free: Check tomato paste and stock are gluten free. Use gluten-free bread.
