My Father's Beans
A terrific side dish with steak or lamb chops. Craig calls it "your father's beans" when he's talking to me. Otherwise he calls it "Elizabeth's father's beans."

Olive oil |
Heat the olive oil until it is almost smoking. Add about three large, smashed cloves of garlic. When they are brown, fish them out. Throw in the beans and cover. Cook them at this same rather high heat until they are wilted (about 5 minutes). Add the tomatoes, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about an hour. Salt to taste (might require a fair amount).
