- This is a great peasant Tuscan dish that is both substantial and soulwarming There are countless versions of it using all kinds of beans. I have had it in Venice with borlotti beans and I have made it with beautiful beans called pavone peacocks which I bought in the Rialto market. These were large and plump and were adorned with all kinds of pink hues like Venetian marbling. In addition to their pretty looks they had a very enticing taste.
