Instructions: Transfer beans and soaking water to large saucepan. Add onion, carrot, garlic and bay leaf and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 1 hr. Stir in oil, tomatoes and salt. Add more water if necessary; there should be enough liquid for a sauce, but it should not be soupy. Cover and continue cooking until beans are tender, about 30 minutes to 1 hr.
