Ingredients
- 2 cups (500 ml) white beans (French white kidney, Northern, or other)
- Soaking water

- 1 tomato, halved

- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil

Instructions
- Place the beans in a large bowl. Cover with water and let soak overnight at room temperature. Add water, if needed, so that the beans are always covered. Rinse and drain.
- In a large saucepan, bring the water and beans to a boil with the remaining ingredients. Simmer gently, uncovered, for about 1 hour, skimming during cooking.
- Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking for about 30 minutes or until the beans are very soft. Remove the tomatoes, herbs, and garlic. Drain.
- Drizzle the beans with olive oil, to taste, and adjust the seasoning. Serve with the Braised Veal Flank.
