- 1
Soak the giant beans in lukewarm water overnight for 8-10 hours.
- 2
The next day, rinse them well and boil until they are half-softened. This takes about 1 hour (15-20 minutes in a pressure cooker). Be careful not to let them become mushy.
- 3
When ready, drain the beans and place them in a baking dish. Reserve 3 cups of the cooking water.
- 4
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- 5
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a deep pan and add all the vegetables. Sauté over medium heat until they soften, about 7-8 minutes.
- 6
Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, all the herbs and spices, and 2 of the 3 cups of reserved water. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes.
- 7
Pour the sauce over the beans in the baking dish, mix well, and place in the oven.
- 8
Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, ensuring the dish retains its oil and develops a nice, thick sauce. If the liquid evaporates too much during cooking, add more from the reserved cup.
