Instructions: Wash the beans, place in water, and soak them overnight. Drain them, then place in a pot of fresh cold salted water; cook for 45 min.; drain.

Meanwhile, place oil, garlic, and onions in a baking pan and bake in preheated 350 F. oven until golden. Add beans, celery, parsley, salt & pepper, and hot water. Bake 30 min. longer. Remove from oven, stir the beans, pour in tomatoes (or diluted tomato paste). Return to oven and bake until only the oil remains.
