ingredients
- 2 cups dried beans
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 5 large garlic cloves
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 2 sprigs parsley
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- salt & pepper
- cayenne pepper
directions
- Wash and pick over beans to discard any stone or other debris. After preliminary preparation, add fresh cold water (hot water toughens them) to about 2 inches above beans.
- Add soup bones or ham hocks. Bring to a boil and skim off the foam that forms. After beans have simmered covered for about 45 minutes, and are beginning to soften, add the rest of the ingredients. (If onion or salt is added in the beginning, the beans may toughen).
- Continue cooking for about 45 minutes, or until beans are very tender. Adjust seasoning to taste.

If I could give a 10 I WOULD ! We started eating these beans before I got the tomato sauce in. This method of making beans less gassy really-really worked! Now I can make beans any day of the week just not weekends ! The beans sat for more than an hour on step #3.(beer 30 is break time). Made for PAC Spring 2008

Come from a Basque back ground and love cook basque food. Also enjoy cooking for large parties. Love dutch oven and outdoor pit cooking.
