I've made a slow cooked beef stew for tonight. Its comfort food because I've had a difficult week or so away from my kitchen. I'm just going to pop some dumplings on the top...
 
Firenze's recipe: fagioli all'uccelletto ( "little bird beans"maybe could be in English) for dinner..beans, sage, tomatoes and sausage..Did you ever eat this Italian dish from Tuscany?

I'm not sure I had this dish exactly but I've eaten something similar with beans, tomato sauce and sausages. It looks lovely.:)

I looked up your reference to 'little birds' and found this:

Literally, beans in “little birds style” with sausage, but in spite of this curious name, there are no birds involved at all. No one actually knows where the name all’uccelletto comes from. We only can suppose that these beans are thus called because they are cooked the same way little birds were cooked. At least, according to Pellegrino Artusi, who calls them “fagiuoli a guisa d’uccellini” (beans in “little birds style”) in his famous cookbook Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well (1881).

Fascinating!
