Ingredients

 1/2 kg beans

1 onion

2 diced carrots

1 tablespoon chopped celery leaves

1/2 tablespoon tomato paste

100 ml olive oil

salt and pepper

Directions

Soak the beans overnight. The next day put the beans in a deep pan with water to cover them.

Boil them, but before they come to the boil remove with a spoon the froth that comes up to the surface. After they come to the boil simmer for 15 minutes.

Remove the beans and drain them in a colander. Put them back in the pan and add enough boiled water to cover them. Add all the remaining ingredients and simmer for 1 hour or more, until the beans are tender.
