Stewed Beans

1. 1

   Drain the beans, put in a large pot, and add the garlic and water to cover by 1 inch.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are soft, about 1 1/2 hours; add more water if necessary to keep the beans covered.

3. 3

   Add the tomatoes (if using canned tomatoes, break them up with your hands as you add them) and a large pinch, or two or three, of salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Cook for another 10 or 15 minutes, until the tomatoes have completely broken down.

5. 5

   Serve drizzled with olive oil.
