Instructions

  • Soak the white beans in water in a large pot overnight. Water should cover the beans by 1 ½ inches.
  • In the same water, bring to a boil and start removing the foam that forms on top with a slotted spoon as much as possible.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot and bring to a low simmer, and cover. Cook for 2 hours covered, removing the foam and grease from the top a few times.
  • Once the time passes, remove the bay leaves, adjust the salt, and serve with fresh parsley.
