3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups yellow onions, chopped
1 cup carrot, chopped

1/2 teaspoon saffron thread, crumbled

Clean and soak the beans overnight.

In a large, heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft but not browned, about 5 minutes.
