Instructions

  1. The night before, put 80 g of dried gigantes beans in a bowl and cover with at least three times their depth of cold water. Leave to soak 8-12 hours at room temperature, then drain and rinse.
  2. Put the drained beans in a saucepan, cover generously with fresh cold water and bring to the boil. Skim off the grey foam, lower to a bare simmer and cook uncovered 45-60 minutes, until a bean crushes easily between finger and thumb but the skins are still intact. Do not salt the water. Drain, reserving a cupful of the cooking liquid.
  3. Heat the oven to 190C. In a frying pan over medium heat, warm 1 tbsp of the olive oil and sweat 60 g of finely chopped onion, 40 g of finely diced carrot and 20 g of finely diced celery with a pinch of salt for 8-10 minutes, until soft and sweet but not coloured.
