1/2 pound kidney or mottled beans, soaked overnight
1 bay leaf, cracked
1/2 cup extra virgin Greek olive oil
2 large red onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large taro root, peeled (use a chef's knife to remove the tough skin) and cut into 1/2-inch thick half moons. Cut it down the middle lengthwise then slice.
1/2 cup chopped canned tomatoes or 1 tablespoon of good quality, preferably sun-dried, tomato paste
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and pepper
Lemon juice, verjuice, or a little red wine vinegar to taste

1
Drain the beans and place in a large pot with enough water to cover by two inches. Bring to a boil, skim any foam off the top, add the bay leaf, lower the heat and continue cooking for about 35 minutes.
2
While the beans are cooking, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy nonstick skillet and saute the onions and garlic until soft and lightly colored, about 8 minutes over medium heat.
3
Add the taro root slices and saute for a few minutes, stirring. Local cooks do this to rid the taro of its mucousy texture. Set aside.
4
Add the taro, onions and garlic to the simmering beans.
5
Pour in another 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil, the tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and simmer for about 1 hour until the stew is densely textured and the taro and beans soft.
6
Stir in the parsley and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper and either lemon juice, verjuice, or red wine vinegar.
