Method

  1. 1 Soak white beans for 8 hours, then boil them with bay leaves for 45 minutes without adding salt to prevent the bean skins from becoming tough.
  2. 2 Sauté the red onion and diced carrots in butter for 8 minutes until softened.
  3. 3 Add the peeled and chopped tomatoes and garlic, and cook for 12 minutes until thickened into a sauce.
  4. 4 Add the beans along with 150 ml of the boiling water, season with salt, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Mash some of the beans to thicken the sauce, then sprinkle with parsley; this is a classic accompaniment to French-style roast lamb.
