White Beans



From the kitchen of Diomira Putano



_______________________________________


These tasty beans can be made any time of year, but it's traditional to serve them at Christmas. This is a 2 day recipe.



Day 1:

Cover with water and soak OVERNIGHT:

1 lb northern or little white beans


Day 2:

Boil water & beans for 15 minutes.

Throw out water.

Boil again with 10 c clean water for 15 minutes, KEEP water.

In a stainless pan:

7 Tbsp oil

garlic - 2 or 3 cloves, sliced

Let garlic color a little, then remove.

Add:

beans

whole medium onion - I like sweet onion

celery, big pieces - 2 or 3 stalks

1 1/2 - 2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Cover with water from beans.

Let boil slowly - about 1 hour or until beans are of desired consistency.

I like beans soft and falling apart.

Add more water from beans as needed.

Remove celery and onion.

Add salt and pepper to taste.
