Trinity-Style Beans aka Bud Spencer-Style Beans: from Spaghetti-Western Movies

Bud Spencer-style beans, or Trinity-Style Beans, are a delicious, creamy and nutritious main course, inspired by a highlight scene in a classic among 1970s Italian westerns, “They Called Him Trinity.”


In this film, in fact, the scene in which Terence Hill eats with gusto an entire pan of beans in a very few minutes is epic: it is said to have been filmed only once, with Terence Hill fasting for 24 hours – according to some even 48 hours – so as to make the binge realistic.

It was from this scene that the definition of bean-western, an all-Italian strand in the wake of the spaghetti-western, was born.

Many variations of this recipe circulate, with sausage or bacon; with rosemary and carrot.

I chose the “classic” recipe.
