Tuscan White Beans with Sun-dried Tomatoes

This is one of Scot's favorite Spring-time meals.  I don't know why it seems Spring-y, but it does.  I serve it over some creamy polenta, but it would do just as well over your favorite pasta or even on top of some crusty French bread.  It's very flavorful and does even better after sitting for a day!

  • 1 large red onion

  • 3 cans white beans, rinse and drain (great northern or cannellini)
