Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the brown butter and sage elements, and pat the black bean dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the black beans and grill until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.
Stir in the san marzano tomatoes and the rest of the brown butter and sage flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the baby potatoes along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Finish with the chopped flat-leaf parsley and serve while hot.
