Small white beans are always considered staple here in USA as they go in most of their food preparations. They are well suited for soups, stews, salads and chunky chili. Baked form is most relished and used as dip for variety for breads. In my home once in a week we have SSS day.. ??? Ok its Soup, Salad and Sandwich day and I always try to make it hearty to go with a light sandwich. This recipe of mine is close to "Ruby Tuesdays" restaurant chains White chili, give it a try and see if it matches the taste.
